Publication number: 20230204093Abstract: There is provided a work vehicle including an oil outlet port and a partition part. The oil outlet port opens to a bottom portion in one end side of a transmission case in a vehicle body front-back direction and a vehicle body left-right direction. The oil outlet port takes out a lubricating oil from an interior of the transmission case. The partition part divided an internal space of the transmission case into a first space zone along a sidewall portion of the transmission case, and a second space zone other than the first space zone. The partition part brings the first space zone into a sealed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: KUBOTA CORPORATIONInventors: Tomonari TSUCHIDA, Ryoma IWASE, Tomoyuki TANAKA, Takahiro MATSUO, Hiroyuki AIKAWA

Publication number: 20230204096Abstract: There is provided a work vehicle including a partition wall to keep partition between a first space zone as part of an internal space of the transmission case in which a differential mechanism is located and a second space zone as part of the internal space which is adjacent to the first space zone. An upper space is disposed above the partition wall and configured to allow lubricating oil scooped up from the first space zone by a ring gear to flow in the second space zone. A flow-out path is disposed below the upper space and configured to allow the lubricating oil to flow out of the second space zone to the first space zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: KUBOTA CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi JINNAI, Tomonari TSUCHIDA, Ryoma IWASE, Tomoyuki TANAKA, Takahiro MATSUO, Hiroyuki AIKAWA, Atsuro HAYAMI, Keitaro MORINAGA, Yosui NISHIJIMA, Satoru NAGANO, Takuma HOKEGUCHI
