  • Patent number: 11453998
    Abstract: An exhaust mechanism includes an exhaust pipe, an exhaust port, and a baffle plate. The exhaust pipe has one end connected to an engine and another end opposite to the one end along a length of the exhaust pipe. The exhaust port is provided at another end of the exhaust pipe and extends in a first direction inclined from the height direction along a height of the work vehicle. A length of the exhaust port in the height direction is shorter than a length of the exhaust port in the transverse direction perpendicular to a plane including the first direction and the height direction. The baffle plate is provided in the exhaust port and configured to change an exhaust gas flow from the first direction to the transverse direction.
