  • Publication number: 20240166211
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a controller configured or programmed to include an input revolutions number calculator to calculate an input revolutions number, and a vehicle speed controller switchable between a first vehicle-speed control mode and a second vehicle-speed control mode. In the first vehicle-speed control mode, the vehicle speed controller is configured or programmed to control a vehicle speed of the work vehicle based on a value detected by an input rotation sensor. In the second vehicle-speed control mode, the vehicle speed controller is configured or programmed to control the vehicle speed based on a value calculated by the input revolutions number calculator.

  • Publication number: 20230204093
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230204096
    Abstract: 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.
