A work vehicle includes a steering wheel attached to a support frame including a first lateral frame member positioned above a lower portion of a body, extending laterally, and coupled to right and left sections of the body; a second lateral frame member positioned above the first lateral frame member, extending laterally, and coupled to the right and left sections of the body; and a first vertical frame member extending vertically and coupled to the first lateral frame member and the second lateral frame member.

Work vehicle

A multipurpose vehicle, including: a drain outlet for waste fluid; a skid plate covering a body of the multipurpose vehicle from below and having an opening in an area facing the drain outlet; and a spread prevention section surrounding the opening and configured to prevent spread of liquid near the opening.

Multipurpose vehicle

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

In a utility vehicle, a differential mechanism is provided with a cylindrical portion and a connection portion, respectively on a first end portion and a second end portion of the differential mechanism in a front-rear direction of a body of the utility vehicle. A vehicle fame is provided with a first holder for allowing the vehicle frame to hold the cylindrical portion and a second holder for allowing the vehicle frame to hold the connection portion. The first holder has a through hole receiving the cylindrical portion and is configured to lock the cylindrical portion by the through hole. The second holder includes a first attachment piece and a second attachment piece. The second holder is configured to, with the connection portion between the first and second attachment pieces, connect the connection portion to the first and second attachment pieces by a connection bolt extending in a vehicle width direction.

Utility 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.
