Abstract
A work vehicle detects pressure of hydraulic oil supplied to an arm cylinder. The work vehicle determines operation details for an arm. The work vehicle includes a relief valve capable of setting a relief pressure of hydraulic oil in a hydraulic circuit at one of a first set pressure and a second set pressure that is greater than the first set pressure. The work vehicle sets the relief pressure of the relief valve at the first set pressure, on the conditions that the detected pressure is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and that it is determined that the operation details indicate an excavation operation. The work vehicle sets the relief pressure of the relief valve at the second set pressure when the conditions are not satisfied.
