Abstract
A work vehicle includes a vehicle body including wheels, a controller to cause the vehicle body to perform automatic travel along a travel route set in advance, a driver seat mounted on the vehicle body, a driver seat protective body provided around the driver seat, first obstacle detectors provided at side portions of the driver seat protective body, and capable of detecting an obstacle; and second obstacle detectors provided at positions differing from positions of the first obstacle detectors in a front-back direction, and capable of detecting an obstacle. At a time of start of the automatic travel, the controller is configured or programmed to put each first obstacle detector in a detection state of detecting an obstacle, and, during automatic travel after the start of the automatic travel, the controller is configured or programmed to put each first obstacle detector in a non-detection state of not detecting the obstacle.
