A utility vehicle includes: a driver section configured to accommodate a driver; an interior cover, which is disposed inside the driver section; and a storage section attached to a surface of the interior cover and configured to store an object. The storage section includes: an openable portion, through which the object is taken in and out; and a body, configured to store the object. The openable portion is in a form of a stretchable member.

Utility vehicle

A support structure for an intake manifold that reduces a burden of support on a front side of the intake manifold. The support structure includes a cylinder head and a fixing structure, and supports the intake manifold. An axial length direction of a crankshaft center is defined as a left-right direction, a horizontal direction orthogonal to the left-right direction is defined as a front-rear direction, and one side in the front-rear direction is defined as a front side. The intake manifold includes a collector and a plurality of branch pipes led out to the front side from the collector. An intake outlet at a front end of each of the branch pipes is supported by the cylinder head. The collector is elastically supported by the fixing structure. A throttle body is attached to a left or right end of the collector.

Support structure for intake manifold

A ROPS frame for a work vehicle includes: a first pipe having an end; a second pipe having an end facing the end of the first pipe; a plate-shaped first joint coupled to the end of the first pipe and oriented orthogonally to a longitudinal direction of the pipes; a plate-shaped second joint coupled to the end of the second pipe and oriented orthogonally to the longitudinal direction of the pipes, the second joint being placed on the first joint; and a bolt extending through the first and second joints and fastening the first and second joints to each other.

ROPS frame for work vehicle, and work vehicle

A work vehicle of the present invention includes a connection mechanism connecting ends of a first pipe and the second pipe. The connection mechanism includes a plate-shaped first joint member provided at the end of the first pipe, a plate-shaped second joint member provided at the end of the second pipe, and a coupling bolt coupling the first joint member and the second joint member to each other. The first joint member and the second joint member each have a coupling hole into which the coupling bolt is insertable, at a position exposed from the corresponding first or second pipe, and the first joint member and the second joint member are coupled to each other by the coupling bolt passed through the coupling holes while the plate surfaces of the first joint member and the second joint member overlap each other.

Work vehicle

A multipurpose work vehicle according to one or more embodiments of the present invention includes a driver's seat at the center of a vehicle body in the left-right direction of the vehicle body; and an occupant's seat to the left or right of the driver's seat in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, wherein the occupant's seat is offset rearwardly relative to the driver's seat.

Multipurpose work vehicle

A work vehicle includes an engine (); a traveling device () capable of traveling on the ground; a power transmission device () that transmits driving power of the engine () to the traveling device () with a work oil; a cooling device () for cooling the engine () with a cooling fluid; a storage unit () having a first storage space (A) for storing the work oil and a second storage space (B) for storing the cooling fluid.

The work vehicle includes: an operation tool through which opening and closing of a throttle valve is operated in accordance with a swing angle of the operation tool; a cable connected to the throttle valve; a cam which is supported by the operation tool and swingable about a first shaft supported by the vehicle body in accordance with an operation amount of the operation tool; a curved face which is an outer face of the cam and includes an end part region and a remaining region, the end part region having a curvature smaller than a curvature of the remaining region; and a link member which is connected to the cable, brought into contact with the curved face of the cam, and swingable along the curved face about a second shaft supported by the vehicle body in accordance with sing of the cam.

A work vehicle is disclosed that includes an elastic support mechanism for supporting an exhaust muffler. The elastic support mechanism includes a support platform member, elastic cylindrical members and a bar-shaped member. The support platform member is supported by a rear-linking frame bar to adjust a position of the support platform member along one of lateral and longitudinal directions of the body frame. An elastic cylindrical member is supported by one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. The elastic cylindrical member has an axis extending along the other of the lateral and longitudinal directions, and is supported at a single position, in a direction of the axis, of one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. A bar-shaped member supported by the other of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler is fitted into the elastic cylindrical member to be supported by the elastic cylindrical member.

A work vehicle is provided with a driving section (), and a load carrying deck () disposed rearwardly of the driving section (). The load carrying deck () is configured to be pivotally liftable between an elevated posture in which a front end portion of the deck () is elevated, and a lowered posture in which the front end portion of the deck () is lowered. Between right and left ends of an upper end portion () of a front wall () of the load carrying deck (), there is provided a plate-like elastic memberextending forwardly upward.

A work vehicle provided with a boarding section and an engine is disclosed. The boarding section is provided with a seat that allows an occupant to be seated thereon. The engine is located below the seat. A separator is provided to separate a foot space for an occupant and the engine from each other. The foot space is formed forward of the engine. The separator is provided with a radiator part formed therein. The radiator part is configured to radiate heat.

A work vehicle is disclosed that includes an elastic support mechanism for supporting an exhaust muffler.
