Abstract
A work vehicle includes a valve for switching between a merging position for causing a first oil passage for driving a bucket and a second oil passage for driving an arm to communicate with each other, and a diverging position for separating the first oil passage and the second oil passage. The work vehicle is adapted to switch the valve from the merging position to the diverging position, when one of a pump pressure in the first pump and a pump pressure in the second pump comes to be equal to a predetermined value during an excavation operation. The work vehicle is adapted to control both pumps, such that the amount of the oil discharged from the first pump is larger than the amount of the oil discharged from the second pump, when the pump pressure in the first pump is equal to or more than the predetermined value.
