  • Patent number: 9677250
    Abstract: A work vehicle is provided with an engine, a variable displacement hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor, a traveling apparatus, an exhaust treatment device, a reductant supply route, a controller, and an operation member. The variable displacement hydraulic pump is configured to discharge hydraulic oil when driven by the engine. The exhaust treatment device is configured to treat the exhaust from the engine. The reductant supply route supplies a reductant to the exhaust treatment device. The controller is configured to set an engine speed to a low idle when the reductant supply route gets into an abnormal state. The operation member is configured to indicate a change of a discharge capacity of the variable displacement hydraulic pump so that the travel speed of the traveling apparatus becomes a predetermined speed or greater when the reductant supply route gets into an abnormal state.

  • Publication number: 20170096795
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes an engine, an exhaust treatment device configured to treat the exhaust of the engine, a reducing agent injection device configured to inject a reducing agent into the exhaust treatment device, a reducing agent tank for storing the reducing agent, an operator compartment, an engine cooling circuit, a reducing agent injection device cooling circuit, a reducing agent tank antifreezing circuit, and a heating circuit for the operator compartment. The reducing agent injection device cooling circuit, the reducing agent tank antifreezing circuit, and the heating circuit are arranged to communicate with the engine cooling circuit. One of the reducing agent injection device cooling circuit, the reducing agent tank antifreezing circuit, and the heating circuit is arranged in series with the other circuits.

  • Patent number: 8868306
    Abstract: A control section selectively executes one of a first control and a second control when the accelerator opening degree is less than a first opening degree and a switching operation is performed by a forward and reverse switching operation lever. The control section controls a motor capacity control section so as to maintain the capacity of a hydraulic motor before and after the switching operation in the first control. The control section controls the motor capacity control section such that the capacity of the hydraulic motor is a minimum value which is set in advance at each speed level in the second control. The control section executes the first control when the temperature of the hydraulic oil is equal to or less than a first temperature and executes the second control when the temperature of the hydraulic oil is higher than the first temperature.
