The notches 61m and 62c are arranged so as to face each other between them, and a substantially U-shaped recess 60a is provided from the seating portion 61 to the backrest portion 62 of the seat 60, so that the operator can easily place the leg in the recess 60a. The posture can be easily changed from a state of facing forward to a state of facing rearward or sideward while sitting on the seating portion 61. Therefore, the operator can easily work with the body facing backward or sideward in the sitting state, and the workability is further improved.

  Further, the left and right cutout portions 61m and 62c of the seat portion 61 and the backrest portion 62 are provided so as to be recessed to the left and right center side of the seat from the support position of the left and right elastic members 67 that support the seat portion 61, respectively. As a result, the operator changes the posture backward while arranging the elastic member with a lateral width sufficient to stabilize the seating portion 61 so that the body does not tilt to the left and right in a state where the pilot is seated on the seating portion. At this time, the legs can be easily put in the notches 61m and 62c, and the body can be easily directed rearward or sideward.

  In addition, the backrest 62 is provided with a recessed portion 62d that is recessed rearward at the upper front portion, and a recessed portion 62e that is recessed forward at substantially the same height as the recessed portion 62d at the upper rear surface. And each recessed part 62d * 62e is extended in the left-right direction, and the pipe-shaped handrail part 62f is formed in the circumference | surroundings of this recessed part 62d * 62e. That is, the pipe-shaped handrail portion 62f is formed so that the periphery of the backrest portion 62 can be gripped by a hand. In this way, the backrest part 62 makes it easy to grasp the vicinity of the upper part as the handrail part 62f, and when the operator is seated on the seating part 61, the posture is changed from the front-facing state to the rear-facing state, When getting on and off the airframe, the handrail portion 62f or the handrail portion 62f and the steering handle 26 are grasped to support the body. In addition, the recessed parts 62d and 62e of the backrest part 62 are good also as only one of a front surface or a back surface, and it is good also as a perforation, In these cases, the same effect as the above can be acquired.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, on the left and right sides of the seat 60, a control operation tool 70 that controls the planting depth of the seedling by the planting device 17 is disposed in the vicinity of the notch 61 m provided in the seat 61. Has been. The operating tool 70 is configured as a sensitivity lever that changes the reference of the movable range of the sensor float for detection, for example, and protrudes forward from the opening 50k provided in the connecting portion 50d of the vehicle body cover 50. The gripping portion is provided behind the maximum diameter portion of the seating portion 61 so as to be positioned on the left and right center side of the seat.

  Therefore, for the operator who is seated on the seating portion 61 of the seat 60, the position of the planting depth control operation tool 70 is easily accessible, and the notch 61m of the seating portion 61 allows the planting depth to be adjusted. A hand can be extended without interfering with the seating portion 61 toward the control operation tool 70, and operability is improved. Moreover, the control operation tool 70 of the planting depth can be efficiently arranged in a limited space near the seat 60, and the airframe can be made compact.

  Further, since the planting depth control operation tool 70 is arranged on the seat left and right center side with respect to the maximum diameter portion of the seating portion 61, when the operator walks on the vehicle body cover 50, the seating operation is performed. Since the maximum diameter portion of the portion 61 is avoided and the outside of the seat 60 is walked, it is difficult for the operator's leg to hit the control operating tool 70 at the planting depth, thereby preventing erroneous operation or damage of the operating tool 70. it can.
