A work vehicle having drive wheels includes: an engine having an output shaft oriented in a transverse direction of a vehicle body; a transmission having an input shaft oriented in the transverse direction, which includes a transmission case arranged next to the engine in a front-rear direction of the vehicle body; and a CVT which extends between a lateral side of the engine and a lateral side of the transmission case and is configured to transmit a driving force from the output shaft to the input shaft. A connecting plate is configured to connect an upper part of the engine and an upper part of the transmission case and has a cover part. An electric component is disposed in a space defined by the engine, the transmission case and the connecting plate and is covered by the cover part from above.

Work vehicle having drive wheels

A suspension arm unit for vehicle includes: a pair of profile beams each having a U-shaped cross section with an opening oriented in a horizontal direction and including: a base end part formed on one end side of the profile beam and vertically swingably supported on a vehicle body side about an axis extending in a front-rear direction; and a distal end part formed on the other end side, to which a knuckle arm unit of a wheel is attached. The pair of the profile beams are arranged in the front-rear direction so that the openings face each other in the front-rear direction and a gap between the profile beams becomes larger from the distal end part to the base end part, and the pair of the profile beams are connected to each other at the distal end part and to the knuckle arm unit through a rotary joint.

Suspension arm unit for vehicle

A work vehicle includes: a muffler which flows exhaust from an engine and extends in a transverse direction so as to allow the exhaust from the engine to flow in the transverse direction; and a CVT case for covering a belt-type CVT positioned frontward of the muffler in a longitudinal direction. The CVT case includes a cooling structure for introducing cooling air from outside, cooling the belt-type CVT, and discharging the cooling air from a discharge part. An exhaust duct includes an inflow opening to be connected to the discharge part for allowing the cooling air to flow into the exhaust duct, and an exhaust opening for allowing the cooling air to flow out rearward. The exhaust opening is elongated in an extending direction of the muffler and oriented in a direction that allows the cooling air flowing out to hit the muffler.

An air conditioning arrangement for a work vehicle having a cabin includes: a hood disposed forwardly of the cabin; an air conditioning unit housed in the hood forwardly of the cabin; and a dashboard provided in a front portion in the cabin. The air conditioning unit includes a rear duct for delivering conditioned air rearward and a front duct having a portion for delivering conditioned air frontward. The front duct further has a portion extending rearward under the air conditioning unit. The dashboard includes an upper outlet, a defrost outlet and a lower outlet. Each of the upper outlet, the defrost outlet and the lower outlet is communicated with either one of the front duct and the rear duct.

Air conditioning arrangement for work vehicle

An operator's station structure for a work vehicle having a motor section, comprising: a seat that is disposed on the operator's station for a work vehicle and has a moveable seat part; and a removable storage box that is disposed below the seat, that has an upwardly opening shape, and that has an interior accessible by moving the seat part.

Operator's station structure for work vehicle

A tractor includes a tractor body ( ), a driver's seat disposed on the tractor body, a working implement attached to a rear end of the tractor body, a tractor control station disposed forwardly of the driver's seat, an implement control station disposed rearwardly of the driver's seat, and a position switching mechanism for switching the driver's seat between a forward facing position for allowing a driver seated on the driver's seat to operate the tractor control station, and a rearward facing position for allowing the driver to operate the implement control station. A passage ( ) is disposed on the tractor body ( ) for allowing the driver to move past the driver's seat ( ) between the tractor control station ( ) and the implement control station ( ).

Tractor with a working implement

A TLB includes a tractor body, a reinforcing frame disposed around the tractor body and supported by the tractor body, a pair of right and left side frames for pivotably supporting a pair of right and left booms having a loader bucket attached to distal ends thereof, and braces for connecting the side frames to the tractor body. The side frames are connected to the reinforcing frames by at least two connecting bosses attached to the side frames, at least two connecting bosses attached to the reinforcing frame, and pins inserted through bores of the connected bosses and bores of the connecting bosses. Rear positions of the reinforcing frame are attached to cylindrical portions of rear axle cases by holders rotatable about an axis of the cylindrical portions, and mounting members for connecting the holders to the reinforcing frame, respectively.

Tractor-loader-backhoe

An apparatus for controlling the posture of the work implement of a loader comprises a boom supported by a boom pivot on a mast secured to a vehicle body and movable upward and downward by a boom cylinder, first and second arms supported by an intermediate portion of the boom and pivotally movable relative to each other, a pivotal member pivoted to the boom by the boom pivot, a first connecting member operatively connecting a point on the pivotal member away from the pivoted point thereof to the first arm, a second connecting member connecting the second arm to the work implement at the forward boom end, an engaging portion for engaging the second arm with the first arm when the implement is moved by an implement cylinder in the scooping direction approximately into a specified posture, and an interlocking member operatively connecting the pivotal member to an implement control valve for the implement cylinder so that the valve is operated in the dumping direction by the movement of the pivotal member with the rise of the boom after the second arm is engaged with the first arm by the engaging portion. The implement can be maintained in the specified posture when the boom is raised, preventing earth from spilling from the implement.
