  • Patent number: 10753407
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a hydraulic main speed change clutch and a Hi-Lo clutch provided to a power transmission device for transmitting power to drive wheels, and a speed change control device configured to control vehicle speed in multi-stage manner by a combination of the main speed change clutch and the hydraulic Hi-Lo clutch. In shift-up operation for changing the speed from a low speed stage range to a high speed stage range in which a high speed clutch is used, before completion of speed change, the high speed clutch pressure is kept at a first pressure (Pa) higher than the low speed clutch pressure while the pressure of the main speed change clutch, which is a speed change source, is kept, so that the power is transmitted by a combination of the high speed clutch and the main speed change clutch, which is a speed change source.

  • Patent number: 10363927
    Abstract: A speed change control apparatus for a work vehicle includes a hydraulic continuously variable speed transmission that performs speed change on power input from an engine by changing a trunnion shaft angle based on a depressing amount of a speed change pedal and outputs the power, a pedal position detector that detects a pedal position responsive to the depressing amount of the speed change pedal, and a control unit that controls a number of revolutions of the engine and the trunnion shaft angle of the hydraulic continuously variable speed transmission based on a detection value of the pedal position detector. The control unit performs control so that the trunnion shaft angle is maximized at a second pedal position set to a position shallower than a first pedal position at which the number of revolutions of the engine is maximized by a depressing operation of the speed change pedal.
