Abstract: A work vehicle includes an exterior sensor to output sensor data indicating geographic features around the work vehicle, and a controller configured or programmed to control self-traveling of the work vehicle in an inter-row travel mode of travel along a target path between adjacent crop rows detected based on the sensor data, and in a turning travel mode of turning in a headland before and after the inter-row travel mode. In the turning travel mode, the controller calculates amounts of positional and directional deviations with respect to a target path in a next instance of the inter-row travel mode based on the sensor data, and switches from the turning travel mode to the inter-row travel mode upon satisfying a first condition that the amount of positional deviation is smaller than a first threshold and a second condition that the amount of directional deviation is smaller than a second threshold.

Abstract: A work vehicle includes an exterior sensor to output sensor data indicating a distribution of geographic features around the work vehicle, and a controller configured or programmed to control self-traveling of the work vehicle, detect two crop rows existing on opposite sides of the work vehicle based on the sensor data, and cause the work vehicle to travel along a path between the two crop rows. During travel, if an end of at least a crop row that corresponds to a turning direction between the two crop rows is detected based on the sensor data, the controller is configured or programmed to set a coordinate system for turning travel that is fixed to a ground surface and a target point for the turning travel. The controller is configured or programmed to control the turning travel toward the target point based on the coordinate system.

Abstract: A method disclosed herewith is a method for producing a first seamless metal tube with a first wall thickness and a second seamless metal tube with a second wall thickness by using a three-roll-type inclined rolling mill, and the method includes a first inclination rolling step (#5), a setting changing step (#10), and a second inclination rolling step (#15). At the first inclination rolling step, a first workpiece is rolled by the inclined rolling mill. At the setting changing step, a setup condition of the inclined rolling mill is changed in a manner (a) or (b) as described below. At the second inclined rolling step, a second workpiece is rolled by the inclined rolling mill under the changed condition. (a) When the second wall thickness is smaller than the first wall thickness, the cross angle of each of the inclined rolls is made greater than the cross angle set for the first inclination rolling step.
