Abstract
To stably and safely perform automatic steering during rearward travel of a working vehicle, the working vehicle includes a vehicle body to be manually steered with a steering wheel or automatically steered to travel forward or rearward, a prime mover on the vehicle body, a working implement supported on the vehicle body, a power take-off (PTO) shaft to transmit power from the prime mover to the working implement, and a controller to control automatic steering of the vehicle body and driving of the PTO shaft. The controller is configured or programmed to allow the automatic steering during rearward travel of the vehicle body when the PTO shaft is in a stopped state, and prohibit the automatic steering during rearward travel of the vehicle body when the PTO shaft is in a driven state.
