A work vehicle includes an engine, a transmission to change a received rotational force to a rotational force at a gear ratio that corresponds to a desired vehicle speed and output the changed rotational force, a first operating tool to change the rotation speed of the engine and a deceleration rate of the transmission, a rotation speed controller to control the rotation speed of the engine based on an input provided to the first operating tool, and a second operating tool to receive a holding instruction to hold the rotation speed of the engine constant. In response to the holding instruction being inputted to the second operating tool, the rotation speed controller is configured or programmed to disable control of the rotation speed of the engine which control is based on the input provided to the first operating tool, and hold the rotation speed of the engine constant in accordance with the holding instruction.

Work vehicle, control method, and recording medium

A display system for a work vehicle includes a rotation speed display section for selectively displaying an engine rotation speed or a PTO rotation speed in a same display area, a display selection switch for outputting a display selection command, a discrimination display section for displaying a discrimination object for discriminating which of the engine rotation speed and the PTO rotation speed is being displayed and a display control section for selectively providing an engine rotation speed display signal or a PTO rotation speed display signal to the rotation speed display section based on the display selection command and providing the discrimination display section with a display signal for the discrimination object based on the display selection command.

A locking apparatus for an openable window disposed in a cabin provided with a beam that has a first face and a second face includes a lock main body that is attached to the first face so as to be swingable between a closed position and a half-closed position, and a half-lock striker that is disposed on the lock main body. The half-lock striker is engageable with an operation piece provided on the openable window when the lock main body is at the half-closed position. The half-lock striker is positioned on a second face side of the beam at the closed position.

Locking apparatus for openable window

A floor arrangement of a driver's section of a vehicle includes a floor frame, an acoustic absorbent placed on the floor frame and a floor mat placed on the acoustic absorbent. A wire harness is placed in an acoustic absorbent-free space formed between the floor frame and the floor mat. A protector is provided inside the acoustic absorbent-free space in the vicinity of the wire harness and extends upward from the floor frame. This protector is affixed to the floor frame and configured to receive a load applied to the floor harness from the upper side thereof.

Floor arrangement of driver's section of vehicle

A tractor with a PTO apparatus, comprises: a plurality of wheels; a vehicle body supported by the plurality of wheels; an engine supported on the vehicle body; a rear PTO shaft disposed at a rear of the vehicle body for transmitting power from the engine; a mid-PTO shaft disposed under the vehicle body for transmitting power from the engine; a PTO mode selecting device having a first position for transmitting power only to the rear PTO shaft, a second position for transmitting power to both the rear PTO shaft and said mid-PTO shaft, and a third position for transmitting power only to said mid-PTO shaft; a PTO clutch disposed on a transmission line upstream of said PTO mode selecting device and switchable between an engaged position and a disengaged position; and a restricting mechanism for preventing a change operation of said PTO mode selecting device when said PTO clutch is in the engaged position, and permitting the change operation of said PTO mode selecting device when said PTO clutch is in the disengaged position.

An operator presence sensing apparatus for a seat of a vehicle includes a base member () for supporting the seat (), and a relay member () extending vertically between the base member and the seat. The seat is oscillatable about a pivot axis (X) extending in a transverse direction in the base member. The relay member is pivotably supported at one end thereof by the pivot axis and at the other end by the base member through a cushion spring (). A seat lift-up spring () is disposed between an underside of the seat and the base member for receiving part of the weight of the seat. The seat unoccupied by the operator is oscillated to a floating position lifted from the relay member by the lift-up spring. The apparatus further comprises an operator presence sensing switch () for detecting the seat occupied by the operator and oscillated from the floating position to a lower seated position, and a restricting device () for restricting the relay member oscillating upward by action of the cushion spring when the seat is not occupied by the operator.
