Abstract: A work vehicle includes a diesel engine, a heater to heat a gas to be supplied to a combustion chamber of the diesel engine, and a controller to execute an afterglow routine to cause the heater to operate. The controller is configured or programmed to execute the afterglow routine in response to the diesel engine being started, an elapse of a predetermined stop time since an end of a previous execution of the afterglow routine, and the work vehicle being in a warming-up state.

Abstract: A tractor includes: a three-point linkage to which a tiller is mountable a hydraulic lifting/lowering driver to lift and lower the three-point linkage, and a mechanical linkage to transmit a lifting/lowering operation amount of the three-point linkage to the lifting/lowering driver. The mechanical linkage includes a load detector to detect an amount of change in traction load via the three-point linkage, a cable to interlock according to the amount of change in the traction load detected by the load detector, and a mechanical linkage interlocked and connected to the cable and the lifting/lowering driver, the mechanical linkage being capable of transmitting the lifting/lowering operation amount according to the amount of change in the traction load to the lifting/lowering driver.

Abstract: A method of forming a multilayer coating film with excellent flip-flop properties and smoothness and allowing formation of a high-design multilayer coating film. In a method of forming a multilayer coating film comprising: a low-brightness intercoating film; a first base coating film; a second base coating film formed on an object to be coated; and a clear coating film formed on the second base coating film; the first base coating film is obtained by applying a first aqueous base coating material, the second base coating film is obtained by applying a second aqueous base coating material containing a brightness pigment, the clear coating film, with specific compositions and properties, is formed on a low-brightness intercoating film by a wet-on-wet method and the multilayer coating film is heat cured to form a cured multilayer coating film.

Abstract: A transmission system for transmitting power through a traveling transmission line and also through a PTO transmission line is disclosed. The system includes a clutch housing and a base transmission case connected via a housing frame. The base transmission case includes a front end opening and a rear end opening. A differential case is connected to the rear end opening. The front end opening is selectively connected with either a gear change speed case having a gear change speed mechanism or an HST case having an HST mechanism. When the gear change speed mechanism is selectively used, a PTO power output portion communicates with the PTO transmission line and a traveling power output portion communicates with the traveling transmission line. When the HST mechanism is selectively used, a pump shaft communicates with the PTO transmission line and a motor shaft communicates with the traveling transmission line.

Abstract: A transmission system for a tractor, adapted for transmitting power of an engine to axles through a traveling transmission line and also to an externally mounted utility implement through a PTO transmission line. The system includes a clutch housing disposed rearwardly of the engine, a base transmission case disposed and spaced rearwardly of the clutch housing, the clutch housing and the base transmission case being connected together via a housing frame. The base transmission case includes an intermediate partitioning wall for partitioning an inner space of the case in a fore and aft direction to create a front space having a front end opening and a rear space having a rear end opening. A differential case is connected to the rear end opening of the base transmission case. The front space includes a receiving portion for the traveling transmission line and a receiving portion for the PTO transmission line, the traveling and PTO transmission lines being disposed parallel with each other.
