Patent number: 11951910Abstract: A working vehicle includes a position detector to detect a position of a vehicle body based on a signal transmitted from a positioning satellite. A mounting stay pivotally supported by a base stay includes a counter surface that opposes an upper surface of the base stay when the position detector is in a first position. The position detector is movable from the first position to a second position according to rotation of the mounting stay causing the counter surface to face upward. When the position detector is in the second position, a front portion of the mounting stay is higher than an upper end of the roof and a rear portion of the mounting stay is lower than the upper end of the roof.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: KUBOTA CORPORATIONInventors: Shinji Misaki, Sayaka Masaki
