The optical sensor 135 is installed in the connector 132 to detect the remaining amount of seeds. The optical sensor 135 is installed on the sensor body and transmits light through the connector 132 to check whether a seed is detected at the position where the optical sensor 135 is installed. The optical sensor 135 may be provided with a light-emitting part and a light-receiving part, respectively, or may have a form in which the light-emitting part and the light-receiving part are integrated.

When the seeds are filled in the connector 132 to the position where the optical sensor 135 is installed, light is not transmitted by the optical sensor 135. When light is transmitted by the optical sensor 135, there is no seed at the position where the optical sensor 135 is installed, and there is a seed under it, which means that the seed container 131 must be filled with seeds.

When a seed is not detected by the optical sensor 135, the display 140 displays this so that the driver can fill the seed container 131 with seeds (see FIG. 8). The display 140 is located near the driver's seat of the tractor so that a driver sitting in the driver's seat can view information displayed on the display 140.
