The seedling planting machine 11 is moved up and down via a lifting link 15 comprising a parallel link mechanism with respect to the rear of the vehicle body 1. It is configured to be freely connected, and to be moved up and down by expansion and contraction of the elevating cylinder 16 by the hydraulic pressure at the rear of the vehicle body 1.

The fertilizer application device 17 is mounted on the rear of the vehicle body 1.
And a flexible fertilization pipe 18 is used to look over a groove generator 19 provided on the float 14 of the seedling planting apparatus 10, and a blower 20 is rotated by transmitting the power of the engine 8. ,
The fertilizer supplied from the fertilizer 17 is sprayed into a groove formed on the surface of the seedling-planted soil to perform fertilization. Body 1
A hydraulic circuit 22 for extending and retracting the piston 21 of the elevating cylinder 16 by the hydraulic pump P is provided at the rear part, and an elevating control valve 23 and an oil drain valve 24 are provided in the hydraulic circuit 22. The elevating control valve 23 is operably provided by an operating lever 25. The elevating cylinder 16 is extended when the elevation angle of the float 14 is increased by a vertical rotation about a float shaft 26 at a front portion of the float 14. When the elevation angle of the float 14 becomes small, the raising / lowering cylinder 16 is contracted to lower the seedling plant 10 so that the seedling plant 10 is lowered.
4 so as to keep the contact pressure of the soil surface almost constant, and to keep the seedling planting depth constant.

When the vehicle body 1 is in a horizontal posture, the oil drain valve 24 is at a neutral position by the inclination sensor 9 and closes a hydraulic circuit from the lifting cylinder 16 to the tank port T.
When the vehicle body 1 is tilted in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction, the tilt sensor 9 swings back and forth with respect to the vehicle body 1 or swings left and right to move the oil drain valve 24 from the neutral position to the oil draining position communicating with the tank port T. By switching, regardless of the switching control of the raising / lowering control valve 23, the oil in the raising / lowering cylinder 16 is drained by the weight of the seedling transplanter 10, the piston 21 is pushed back, and the seedling transplanter 10 descends. The lowering of the seedling plant 10 by the oil drain valve 24 causes the oil drain valve 24 to switch to the neutral position when the vehicle body 1 returns to the horizontal state, and the float 14 to reach the vicinity of the ground contact surface. Stop.

Therefore, when the machine is tilted more than a certain amount with the seedling plant 10 raised during non-working, such as when crossing a ridge, loading / unloading a truck, or entering / leaving a field, etc. The inclination sensor 9 detects the inclination, switches the oil drain valve 24 to the tank port T, releases the hydraulic pressure of the elevating cylinder 16 to the tank port T, retracts the piston 21, and retracts the seedling plant 10 Is lowered. As a result, the position of the center of gravity of the entire body is lowered, and it is difficult for the vehicle to fall over, so that the vehicle can travel safely.

In FIGS. 1 and 4, the elevation control valve 23 is provided between a mounting member 27 projecting forward of the seedling plant 11 and a front portion of the float 14. . 28
