Abstract
Provided is a work machine capable of notifying that maintenance is necessary due to continuation of clogging in a cooling device or decrease in cooling performance. A wheel loaderincluding a radiatorand an oil coolercomprises a controllerA configured to determine a clogging continuation state of the radiatoror the oil cooler. The controllerA determines whether clogging is occurring in the radiatoror the oil coolerbased on outside air temperature AW and cooling water temperature CW or hydraulic oil temperature HW, determines whether the clogging continues based on a clogging occurrence ratio R, Rwhile an engineis operating, and outputs a notification command signal for providing the alarm buzzerand the user management systemwith a command to notify that maintenance is necessary when it is determined that the clogging continues.
