AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional seedling transplanters require skill to operate the seedling planting section to lower it to the appropriate position at the edge of a field, and there is a risk of reduced crop yield due to improper positioning, which can lead to collisions with the ridge, causing damage.

Method used

A seedling transplanter with a lifting control section that allows the seedling planting section to be raised and lowered in a controlled manner, enabling it to be positioned close to the soil surface without grounding, facilitating easy and reliable planting from the edge of the ridge.

Benefits of technology

Enables reliable and easy starting of seedling planting from the edge of the ridge, reducing the risk of yield reduction and equipment damage, while allowing for more efficient planting close to the ridge.

Abstract

To provide a seedling transplanter allowing a reliable and easy operation for starting planting of seedlings from a ridge edge.SOLUTION: A seedling transplanter includes a traveling vehicle body, a seedling planting part, and a lifting / lowering control part. The traveling vehicle body can travel in a farm field. The seedling planting part is liftably / lowerably provided at the rear of the traveling vehicle body. The seedling planting part in a lowered state, plants seedlings on a soil surface of the farm field, while the traveling vehicle body is moving forward. The lifting / lowering control part controls lifting / lowering of the seedling planting part. When the seedling planting part is moved to a ridge edge side in the farm field and then the traveling vehicle body is moved backward toward the ridge edge in order to start the planting of the seedlings, the lifting / lowering control part executes special lifting / lowering control for positioning the seedling planting part at a height close to the soil surface without grounding the seedling planting part to the soil surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
