The working machine includes a traveling device, a traveling motor, a hydraulic pump including a swashplate, a prime mover to drive the hydraulic pump, a first servo-cylinder to set an angle of the swashplate, a charge pump to supply pilot fluid to the first servo-cylinder, a switching valve shiftable between a traveling position to supply the pilot fluid from the charge pump to the first servo-cylinder and a neutral position to stop the pilot fluid supply to the first servo-cylinder, a switching operation member operable to select either a traveling mode or a neutral mode, and a controller to shift the switching valve between the traveling position and the neutral position. The controller holds the switching valve at the neutral position after the switching operation member is operated to select the traveling mode until a rotation speed of the prime mover becomes not less than a first predetermined rotation speed.

Working machine

A prime mover includes an engine, a fan to generate a cooling airflow around the engine, an air-intake tube to supply outside air to the engine, a connection tube to supply, to the air-intake tube, a blow-by gas generated in the engine, and a wind shielding member to shield the connection tube from the cooling airflow, the wind shielding member being arranged around the connection tube.

Prime mover and working machine having the same

A cooling control system for a working machine includes a fan, a housing to which the fan is attached, a prime mover having an output shall, a rotor to be rotated by a rotating power of the output shaft and to be rotated with the housing by a fluid introduced to a gap formed between the housing and the rotor, a fluid setting circuit to set an introduction amount of the fluid introduced to the gap, and a control device to control the fluid setting circuit to control the fan. The control device includes a setting circuit to set a target rotation speed of the fan based on a responsiveness of an actual rotation speed of the fan at time of changing of the target rotation speed of the fan.

Working machine and cooling control system for the same

There is provided a working machine which is capable of vehicle speed control through accelerator pedal operation even during execution of work under a condition where engine rotational speed is maintained constant. The working machine has the normal mode for exercising vehicle speed control by controlling engine rotational speed on the basis of the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal and by controlling the swash plate of the HST pump on the basis of the engine rotational speed, and the attachment mode for exercising vehicle speed control by controlling the swash plate of the HST pump on the basis of the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal irrespective of engine rotational speed.
