This study aims to identify and analyze the differences in farmers' income between those using a Rice Transplanter and those employing conventional planting methods in Indrapuri District, Aceh Besar Regency. The sampling technique was conducted using the Simple Random Sampling method, covering 15% of the population. The results showed that the average production of farmers using the Rice Transplanter was 3,016.4 kg/MT with an income of IDR 17,677,451/MT, while farmers using conventional methods achieved an average production of 2,017.9 kg/MT with an income of IDR 12,872,254.4/MT. The t-test analysis on income showed a tvalue of 58.7, which is greater than the ttable value of 2.02 at a 0.05 confidence level, indicating that Ha is accepted, and Ho is rejected, thus confirming a significant income difference. Similarly, the production analysis showed a tvalue of 0.78 compared to a ttable of 2.02, suggesting a significant difference in production as well. In conclusion, the use of the Rice Transplanter significantly increases farmers' income and production compared to conventional methods.
