Abstract
A work vehicle includes a hydraulic actuator that changes an actual steering angle, an actual steering angle detecting part, an operating unit that performs a steering operation, a position adjusting control part that controls the position adjusting part based on the actual steering angle, and a steering control part that controls the hydraulic actuator. The operating unit includes a support part, a rotating part supported rotatably by the support part, an operating part supported rotatably by the support part or the rotating part, a biasing part that biases the operating part to a predetermined position with respect to the rotating part, and a position adjusting part that adjusts a rotation angle of the rotating part with respect to the support part. The biasing part may produce various counterforces and may increase or reduce an increasing rate of a counterforce with respect to the relative angle.
