Abstract: A crawler tractor comprises steering mechanisms (44) (45) for rotating a machine body by causing right and left crawler belts (9) to move differentially. The tractor is characterized in that the steering mechanism (44) is connected to a drive system located behind a reverser mechanism (21) that moves the machine body forward and back. Even when the machine body movement direction is changed from forward to back, the direction of the steering wheel (18) and the direction of the rotation of the machine body are kept the same, so that a reversed steering phenomenon is prevented from occurring, and an appropriate operation in forward or back movement is enabled with a simple structure that does not require an additional mechanism such as a reverse-steering preventions mechanism.

Abstract: A working vehicle comprises a dashboard, a boss and an assist grip. The boss is provided on the dashboard so as to have a surface in which a hole is opened. The assist grip is provided with a flange, and provided with a base portion extended from the flange. The assist grip is mounted on the dashboard so that the base portion is inserted into the hole of the boss and the flange is placed on the surface of the boss.

Abstract: An object is to provide an assist grip for an operator to easily ride on/off an operation section. An assist grip for supporting a weight of an operator riding on/off an operation section is disposed in front of a steering wheel so as to overlap steering wheel when viewed in front.

Abstract: A working vehicle such as a mobile agricultural machine is designed such that it has an improved working efficiency if any spinning turn is not required, and has an improved running property in a wet farm. The vehicle has a pair of right and left crawlers (2), a speed change apparatus (25) for imparting traction force to the crawlers, a speed change lever (73) operable to control the speed change apparatus so as to alter running speed of the vehicle in a step-less manner. The vehicle further has a steering apparatus (28) and a steering wheel (19) operable to control the steering apparatus so as to alter difference in the running speeds between the crawlers (2). The running speed generally determined for each crawler by the speed change lever (73) can be decreased voluntarily and proportionally to an operated angle of the steering wheel (19).

Abstract: A hydraulic transmission (21) has an electric actuator (86) for changing its output/input rotation speed ratio. A controller (90) of the actuator memorizes a command current value to the actuator supposing that load is not applied on the hydraulic transmission, and calculates a value of load applied on the hydraulic transmission by calculating a difference between an actual command current value to the actuator and the memorized command current value. A command current value is compensated based on the value of load, and the actuator receives feedback to be controlled. A vehicle may have a differential mechanism (10), which combines rotation powers on input side and output side of the hydraulic transmission. A detector (82) detects rotation speed of a main speed change output shaft (27) serving as an output shaft of the differential mechanism.

Abstract: A grain dropping passage constituted below a husking unit(D) serves as a winnowing room(A). A winnowed grain conveyor(1) is provided as the sole conveyor below the winnowing room(A). A winnowing wind blown by a winnowing fan(F) through a blowing room(B) passes through below the winnowed grain conveyor(1) and then rises in the winnowing room(A). The grains mixed with hulls and others are winnowed in the winnowing room(A) so as to be sorted into two kinds: winnowed grains to be received by the winnowed conveyor(1), and the other including hulls to be received by a hull conveyor(2) arranged oppositely to the winnowed grain conveyor(1) with respect to the winnowing fan(F). In this manner, powerful separation can be executed by means of winnowing wind having a large amount and large speed so as to improve a winnowing ability remarkably.

Abstract: A running mower of the present invention comprises a traveling body 1 provided, between the front wheels 2 and the rear wheels 3, with a rotary mowing unit 12 which includes a laterally spaced pair of mowing blades 16a, 16b. The traveling body is also provided with an outlet duct 26 extending backward from between the mowing blades past a position between the rear wheels for discharging grass mown by the mowing blades. The rotary mowing unit 12 is provided with a forwardly extending mower input shaft 22 disposed offset from the center of the mowing blades toward one mowing blade 16b by an appropriate amount L1. A front part of the traveling body 1 is provided with an engine 4 whose power is transmitted to the input shaft via a mower transmission shaft 23 having a respective end provided with a universal joint 23a, 23b. As a result, the power transmission from the engine to the rotary mowing unit is simplified while the mown grass is disposed smoothly from the outlet duct 26.

A downwardly open channel-shaped upper duct 57 covers an outlet 58 of the rotary mowing unit for mowed grass. The upper duct has a rear end inserted into an upper front end of the outlet duct 23. The outlet duct 23 is channel-shaped to be downwardly open. The underside of the outlet duct is provided with an upwardly open channel-shaped lower duct 61 forming a bottom element of the outlet duct and having a vertically movable front end. The front end of the lower duct moves together with the rotary mowing unit, so that the mowed grass is smoothly discharged even if the mowing height of the rotary mowing unit is lowered.

Abstract: A mobile cultural machine including right and left traction members, a transmission, and a main speed change device operable to transmit, at any speed ratio, a driving force from an engine through the transmission to the traction members so that they are driven at any traveling speed.
