As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rear fertilizer tank 31 has the passage 23 sandwiched between the left and right sides of the seat 7,
A portion that is supported and provided on the traveling machine body 1 side via a stay 41 attached to the machine body frame 4 side, and extends from the rear side of the side step 19 in the above-described passage 23 to the front side of the step portion 21a of the rear step 21. It is located above. In other words, the rear fertilizer tank 31 is the side step 19
Is located above the side of the seat 7 and above the height changing portion of the passage 23 between the front of the seat 7 and the rear of the seat 7. Further, the rear fertilizer tank 31 has a shape in which a horizontal width (overall width) is shorter than a vertical length (overall length) in a plan view, and the rear fertilizer tank 31 is attached to the traveling machine body 1 in the front-back direction. At this time, the entire width is shorter than the width of the passage 23.

The stay 41 is attached to the machine frame 4 side so as to be swingable left and right, whereby the rear fertilizer tank 31 is supported by the traveling machine body 1 so as to be swingable left and right. At this time, the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not come into contact with the seedling placing table 9 in the entire range of the raising and lowering of the planting machine 11, does not interfere with the seedling supplying to the seedling placing table 9, and will be described later even when swinging to the left and right. As described above, the condition with the seedling placing table 9 is maintained within the swing range.

Next, the structure of the stay 41 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the stay 41 includes a holding stay 42 that holds the rear fertilizer tank 31 and has a substantially U-shaped upper opening in a side view, and a mounting member 43 that is fixed to the machine frame 4 side. , And a support arm 44 rotatably supported on the mounting member 43. The mounting member 43 is fan-shaped with the front surface 43a having an arc shape in a plan view, and has a U-shaped cross section with an open bottom. Further, an upper portion of the front surface 43a is opened, and a support arm 44 rotatably attached to the attachment member 43 via a shaft 47 at the rear end side projects from the opening portion 46. As a result, the support arm 44 can swing left and right within the opening range of the opening portion 46 in the left-right direction.

At this time, a bracket 48 having a U-shaped cross section is fixed in the front-rear direction below the portion of the support arm 44 projecting from the mounting member 43.
A substantially L-shaped rod 49 in a side view is inserted into this so as to be slidable back and forth. The rod 49 has a front end and L
A rear end curved in a letter shape projects from the front and rear ends of the bracket 48, and a spring 51 is externally fitted to the rod 49 in the bracket 48, and the rod 51 is moved to the mounting member 43 side by the spring 51. Being energized.

On the other hand, at the lower portion of the front surface 43a of the mounting member 43, the front end side of the rod 49 can be fitted at a predetermined interval into a portion corresponding to the locus of the tip of the rod 49 when the support arm 44 is swung. A plurality of holes 52 are provided, and the rod 49 is inserted into the positioning hole 52 by the urging force of the spring 51, so that the mounting member 4
The position (swing angle) of the support arm 44 with respect to 3 is fixed. Then, the rod 49 is slid backward against the urging force of the spring 51 to be removed from the positioning hole 52, the supporting arm 44 is swung, and then the rod 49 is inserted into another positioning hole 52 to support the supporting arm 44. The angle with respect to the mounting member 43 can be changed.

The lower end of the holding stay 42 is attached to the tip end side of the support arm 44 via a bracket 53, and the attaching member 43 is attached to the frame 4a supporting the rear step 21, whereby the stay of the above structure is formed. 41 is attached to the traveling machine body 1 side. At this time, the mounting member 43 is mounted on the frame 4a so as to project to the outside of the rear step 21, but does not project to the outside of the expansion step 22 in plan view.

The front and rear ends of the rear fertilizer tank 31 are attached to the front and rear ends of the holding stay 42 so that the stay 41
The rear fertilizer tank 31 is attached to the rear fertilizer tank 31, and the rear fertilizer tank 31 is attached to the traveling machine body 1 side in the front-rear direction as described above. Then, by swinging the support arm 44 left and right with respect to the mounting member 43 as described above, the rear fertilizer tank 3
1 swings left and right with respect to the traveling body 1. In the present embodiment, the rear fertilizer tank 31 has a structure (two positioning holes 52) that can be switched between the storage position A and the working position B shown in FIG. By inserting the rod 49 into any one of the two positioning holes 52, the rear fertilizer tank 31 can be set to either the storage position A or the working position B. That is, the swing range of the rear fertilizer tank 31 is between the storage position A and the working position B.

At this time, the shaft 47, which serves as a pivot of the rear fertilizer tank 31, is located behind the rear fertilizer tank 31 on the outer side of the rear step 21, as shown in FIG. Rear end or holding stay 42
It is close to the rear end in plan view. As a result, the rear fertilizer tank 31 including the stay 41 is assembled as follows.
Since the length in the front-rear direction is almost the same as the length of the fertilizer application tank 31 only, it is mounted on the traveling machine body 1 relatively compactly.

At the storage position A, the rear fertilizer tank 31
The inner side of the rear fertilizer tank 31 extends along the outer side of the passage 23, and the rear fertilizer tank 31 is positioned so that the outer side of the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not exceed the outer side of the expansion step 21. That is, the space between the outer sides of both expansion steps 22 is the maximum lateral width L of the traveling machine body 1, and the outer side of the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not exceed the lateral width L of the traveling machine body 1 along the outer side of the traveling machine body 1. The above state is obtained by making the width of the rear fertilizer tank 31 smaller than the width of the passage 23.

In the working position B, the rear fertilizer tank 31
The swing of the rear fertilizer tank 31 is regulated (the swing angle is determined) so that the rear portion of the (assembly of the rear fertilizer tank 31) does not project to the rear of the rotation fulcrum shaft 47. Rear fertilizer tank 3 (in position B)
1 does not exceed the lateral width L'of the seedling placing table 9. As a result, when the rear fertilization tank 31 is assembled in the storage position A so that it does not come into contact with the seedling stand 9 or the like when the planting machine 11 moves up and down, the rear fertilization tank 31 is assembled in the working position B as well. It does not come into contact with the mounting table 9 or the like. That is, the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not come into contact with the seedling placing table 9 and the storage position A described above.
In the above, the outer side is along the outer side of the traveling machine body 1, and the swinging range is restricted to a range that satisfies the conditions such as not exceeding the lateral width L ′ of the seedling placing table 9 at the working position B.

As described above, the rear fertilizer tank 31 is always located outside the passage 23, and particularly in the storage position A, the outer side of the rear fertilizer tank 31 is the lateral width L of the traveling machine body 1.
Not only does not exceed the width, but also the lateral width L of the traveling machine body 1 is not widened for the rear fertilizer application tank 31, the space 54 between the seat 7 and the rear fertilizer application tank 31 can be ensured wider than before, and the passage 23 can pass through. Will be easier. Since the rocking viewpoint shaft 47 of the rear fertilizer tank 31 is located behind the rear fertilizer tank 31, the rear portion of the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not project into the passage 23 when the rear fertilizer tank 31 swings. The rear fertilizer tank 31 does not obstruct the passage of the passage 23.

That is, the swinging fulcrum shaft 47 has the rear fertilizer tank 3
By being located at the rear end position of 1, it is possible to simultaneously and easily obtain the above effect and the effect of compact mounting.
Further, as described above, the rear portion of the rear fertilizer tank 31 assembly does not project to the rear of the rotation fulcrum shaft 47 when the rear fertilizer tank 31 is in the working position B, so that when the planting machine 9 moves up and down, The platform 9 and the rear fertilizer tank 31 do not come into contact with each other, and the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not hinder the raising and lowering of the planting machine 9.

When the passenger rice transplanter of the present embodiment is carried, the planting machine 11 is detached from the traveling machine body 1 and conveyed as described above, so that the traveling machine body 1 is transported alone. However, by setting the rear fertilizer tank 31 at the storage position A as described above, the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not project beyond the lateral width L of the traveling machine body 1, so that the traveling machine body 1 can be easily transported. The planting machine is a model (not shown) that can fold the left and right ends of the seedling stand inside.
The passenger rice transplanter equipped with the planting machine equipped with this seedling mounting base generally folds the seedling mounting base to transport the traveling machine body and the planting equipment integrally. At this time, when the seedling placing table is folded, the lateral width thereof is configured to be substantially the same as the lateral width of the traveling body. Therefore, by setting the rear fertilizer tank at the storage position A so that the rear fertilizer tank 31 does not protrude beyond the lateral width of the traveling machine body 1, the planting machine 11 equipped with the folding seedling placing table is attached. It is possible to easily carry the riding rice transplanter. In addition, this type (folding type) planting machine (seedling table) has little extension to the driver's seat side on the upper end side.

Further, particularly when the rear fertilizer tank 31 is in the storage position A, the rear fertilizer tank 31 is located on the side of the side step 19 and the rear step 21 as described above, so that the rear fertilizer tank 31 is located in the side of the passage 23. It functions as a lateral guard for the step 19 and the rear step 21, so that the operator (operator) does not need to pay particular attention to the ends of the side step 19 and the rear step 21 when moving the passage 23, and the balance can be maintained during the movement. It becomes easy to secure the posture even if the vehicle is collapsed, and the passage 23 can be easily moved. In particular, in this embodiment, as described above, the passage 23 has a step, and the rear fertilizer tank 31 is provided above the step.
Is located, the rear fertilizer tank 31 serves as a guard for the stepped portion of the passage 23. The rear fertilizer tank 31, including the stay 41, also functions as a rail for the passage 23.

By setting the rear fertilizer tank 31 at the working position B, the distance between the auxiliary seedling stand 33 and the front end of the rear fertilizer tank 31 is made larger than when the rear fertilizer tank 31 is at the storage position A. Can be taken. Thus, the work of taking out the auxiliary seedlings from the auxiliary seedling placing table 33 by the seedling taking-out plate 34 can be more easily performed, and the seedling supplying work to the seedling placing table 9 can be smoothly performed. Further, as described above, the distance (space) 56 between the auxiliary seedling stand 33 and the front end of the rear fertilizer application tank 31 is widened, so that the operator can easily get on and off.

In the working position B, the rear fertilizer tank 3
Since 1 does not exceed the lateral width L'of the seedling placing table 9, even if the rear fertilizer tank 31 is set to the work position B during the planting work, the rear fertilizer tank 31 increases the lateral width of the entire riding rice transplanter. The planting work can be performed in the same manner as in the past. Further, the rear fertilizer tank 31 is not pivotally formed as described above, and the support arm 44 is directly fixed to the machine body frame 4 without the mounting member 43 as shown in FIG. It may be attached non-rotatably. In this case, the space for seedling replenishment work and the space for getting on and off are slightly reduced, but the same effects as those at the storage position A can be obtained. In addition, some riding rice transplanters have no special step and the passage 23 is provided on the body cover. In this case, the same effects as those described above can be obtained.

Here, the shape of the stay 41 will be described in more detail. Side step 1 as shown in FIG.
9, rear step 21, support arm 44, holding stay 4
A space 57 having a U-shape in a side view is formed in the driver's seat 8 (above the step) by 2. At this time, the holding stay 4
2, the front is bent obliquely, and the upper front of the space 57 is wide. With this structure, the operator can effectively use the front of the space 57. Further, the rear part of the holding stay 42 is also obliquely bent, so that the rear fertilizer tank 31 (the holding stay 4 is seen in a plan view).
Even if 2) and the rear step 21 overlap, the operator can use the entire surface of the rear step 21 (step portion 21a) as shown in FIG. 5, and the rear fertilizer tank 31 is not provided in the step portion 21a. It is possible to maintain the same workability as the model.

Next, the pump 36 and the rear suction hose 38, which constitute the deep-layer fertilizer application mechanism, will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pump 36 is provided behind the rear step 19 and the rear side step 20, and is connected to the left and right rear fertilizer tanks 31 and the rear suction hose 38. That is, the paste fertilizer in the rear fertilizer tank 31 is sent to the pump 36 through the rear suction hose 38.

The pump 36 is composed of a plurality of single pumps having a common input as a unit. For example, in the present embodiment, the pump 36 is composed of the same number of single pumps as the deep-layer fertilizing nozzles 28. . At this time, the rear suction hose 38 is located laterally and rearward of the rear step 19,
It is connected to the pump 36 through the rear of the rear side step 20, and the upper surface of the rear suction hose 38 projects from the upper surface of the rear step 19. That is, the rear suction hose 38 is provided along the outer peripheral upper surface of the passage 23 on the side and the rear of the seat 7. Further, the rear suction hoses 38 are stably attached to the left and right rear steps 21 and the rear center steps 20 via the attachment portions 25 (so as not to form spatial piping).

Due to the above piping structure of the rear suction hose 38, the rear suction hose 38 has a function as a hose for sending the paste fertilizer to the pump 36, and the passage 2
3 also functions as a guard for the outer circumference, and by forming the surface with a material having a non-slip effect such as resin or rubber, it also functions as a stopper for the non-slip on the outer circumference of the passage 23 (rear step 19). By the function of the rear suction hose 38 as described above, the worker can move smoothly especially on the passage 23 on the rear step 19 side, so the workability is also improved as compared with the conventional one. As described above, since the side of the side step 19 is guarded by the rear fertilizer application tank 31 and the stay 41, the passage 2
3 is protected as a whole, and the operator can move smoothly in almost the entire passage 23 without paying special attention to the outer end of the passage 23.

On the other hand, the rear suction hose 38 is provided with the passage 23.
Since it is stably attached along the outer peripheral edge (rear step 21 and rear center step 20), the conventional spatial piping is not provided, and the rear suction hose 38 is used for other mechanisms and maintenance. Not only does it not hinder, but it does not sway due to vibration or the like due to traveling of the traveling machine body 1 and adversely affect other mechanisms. Further, since the rear suction hose 38 does not project into the passage 23, the operator can use the entire passage 23 (side step 19, rear step 21 and rear center step 20), and workability at each step is improved. Is improved.

Further, the swing range of the rear fertilizer tank 31 is restricted to such a range that the rear portion of the rear fertilizer tank 31 assembly does not project rearward from the rotation fulcrum shaft 47 as described above. The portion located near the lateral side of the rear step 19 does not curve extremely even when the rear fertilizer tank 31 swings, and the rear suction hose 38 accompanying the swing of the rear fertilizer tank 31.
Is smooth, and the rear suction hose 38 does not prevent the rear fertilizer tank 31 from swinging. Further, since the pump 36 is located behind the rear step 19 and the rear suction hose 38 passes behind the rear step 19, the step 2
Since the whole 1a can be used, the workability of the worker on the rear step 19 is improved.

Next, the indicator 37 will be described. The indicator 37 is attached to the lower link 13b on the right side as shown in FIG. 1, and the input side is connected to the pump 36 by the input fertilizing pipe 39a, and the output side is connected to the deep-layer fertilizing nozzle 28 by the output fertilizing pipe 39b.
At this time, the indicator 37 is provided for each deep-layer fertilizing nozzle 28, and the input end of each indicator 37 and the output end of each single pump in the pump 36 are connected to the input fertilizing pipe 3.
9a, the output end of each indicator 37 and the input end of each deep-layer fertilizing nozzle 28 are connected by an output fertilizing pipe 39b. The structure and function of the indicator 37 are similar to those of the conventional one.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the pump 3
The indicator 37 and the pump 36 are provided offset from each other so that the straight line 1 passing through the center of 6 and the straight line l ′ passing through the input end of the indicator 37 do not overlap in a plan view. As a result, the input fertilizing pipe 39a connects the pump 36 and the indicator 37 in a substantially Z shape in a plan view, so that the connecting path becomes relatively long. Therefore, the lifting link 14 (lower link 1
Even if the indicator 37 swings up and down together with the planting machine 11 due to the vertical movement of 3b), the input fertilization pipe 39a does not have a short length, and the input fertilization pipe 39a follows the vertical movement of the indicator 37, and the lifting link The vertical movement of 14 is also smoothly performed.

In this embodiment, the rear fertilizer tank 31
Although the example in which paste fertilizer, which is one type of liquid fertilizer, is contained is described, other liquid fertilizers such as liquid fertilizer (liquid fertilizer) may be contained, and other liquid fertilizers may be contained. Also, the layout of the rear fertilizer tank 31 may be applied to the layout of the fertilizer tank of the fertilizer applicator for fertilizing granular fertilizer.

In this embodiment, an auxiliary step 58 for raising and lowering is provided on the side of the side step 19. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the auxiliary step 58 is provided in the front and rear direction on the outer side of the rear fertilizer tank 31, and is attached to the side step 31 side so as to be insertable and removable. The auxiliary step 31 is attached to the traveling body 1 side by being attached to the side step 19 side when moving up and down to each step such as the side step 19, but in this state, the lateral width L'of the planting machine 11 is exceeded. Absent. The front end of the auxiliary step 58 and the rear fertilizer tank 31
The front ends of are almost coincident.

With the above-described structure, the auxiliary step 58 facilitates the raising and lowering to the side step 19 or the center step 18, and also facilitates the raising and lowering to the expansion step 22 located behind the rear fertilizer tank 31. And the workability on the side step 19 are improved.

Next, the shallow layer fertilization mechanism constituted by the shallow layer fertilization nozzle 27, the front fertilization tank 29, etc. will be described. The shallow fertilization mechanism is the same as that provided in the conventional riding rice transplanter, and has substantially the same structure as the deep fertilization mechanism described above. And the front fertilizer tank 29
Is provided below the hood 6, a pump 59 is provided at a substantially central position between the front wheel 2 and the rear wheel 3 below the body frame 4, and an indicator 62 is attached to the left lower link 13a. A front suction hose 61 is connected from the front fertilizer tank 29 to the pump 59, and an input fertilizing pipe 63a is used from the pump 59 to the indicator 62 as shown in FIGS. Output fertilizing pipes 63b are connected to the fertilizing nozzles 27, respectively.

At this time, the output fertilizing pipe 63b connecting the pump 59 and the indicator 62 has a shape having a horizontal portion toward the inside of the traveling machine body 1 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. -1 is provided, whereby the width of the entire output fertilization pipe 63b group from the pump 59 to the indicator 62 can be made compact, and the arrangement of other members such as the rod 67 becomes easy. That is, the space α is created by the shape of the output fertilization pipe 63b-1. And by the above, traveling machine body 1

According to the present invention constructed as described above, since the fertilizer feed hose is attached along the outer peripheral edge of the passage, the fertilizer feed hose does not interfere with other mechanisms or work such as maintenance. In addition, there is an advantage that it can be stably attached to the traveling body side. Further, since the fertilizer supply hose does not project into the passage, there is an effect that the operator can use the entire passage.

On the other hand, when the fertilizer tank is located on the side of the passage and the pump is located on the rear of the passage, the fertilizer hose is arranged along the passage on the side and rear of the driver's seat so that the fertilizer hose serves as a guard for the passage. Not only can it work,
By letting the upper surface of the fertilizer feed hose project to the upper surface of the passage and forming the surface of the fertilizer feed hose with a material that has a non-slip effect such as resin or rubber, the fertilizer feed hose functions as a slip stopper on the outer circumference of the passage. You can also
At this time, the fertilizer tank serves as an upper guard on the side of the passage.
