Abstract
A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, a work implement including an attachment, an operating device and a controller. The operating device can be operated to a dump side and a tilt side to cause the attachment to dump and tilt. The controller executes an automatic drive control in which the attachment is caused to dump as far as a predetermined dumping position when the operating device is operated by a first dump operation amount or greater to the dump side, or to tilt as far as a predetermined tilt position when the operating device is operated by a first tilt operation amount or greater to the tilt side. The controller disables the automatic drive control when a switching time period required for the operating device to be switched between the tilt and dump sides is at least a predetermined disabling time period.
