Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rice transplanter having, for example, a seedling mounting table and planting claws for continuously performing seedling planting operations.

[0002]

Conventionally, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-30 / 1993
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 4805, there is a technique of folding both side ends of a hopper provided in a fertilizer application section. And the end portion of the air tank tends to protrude, and the planting part and the fertilizing part cannot be easily transported due to the multi-row size. For example, when the front-rear width of the machine is to be reduced and compacted, there is a problem that the hopper is housed above the step of getting on and off and the operator cannot get on and off smoothly.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a traveling vehicle having a fertilizer application section for arranging a plurality of sets of hoppers, feeding cases, and air tanks in the left-right direction. The hopper and the feeding case and the air tank on the side of the fuselage are provided movably from a storage position to a working position, and a step for getting on and off is provided in a non-lapping state with the hopper when the storage position is moved. The width of the fertilizer can be easily reduced by folding the hopper, feeding case and air tank.
The traveling vehicle can be carried on a truck bed without removing the fertilizer application section, and can be easily stored in a narrow space such as a barn. You can get on and off smoothly.
