Abstract
A working machine includes a machine body, a steering device capable of changing an orientation of the machine body, a first wheel on the machine body, a second wheel on the machine body and separated from the first wheel in a machine-body width direction, a rotational difference generator to cause a rotational difference between the first and second wheels and that is a braking device, and a controller configured or programmed to include a first control unit to set a steering angle of the steering device based on a planned traveling route, and a second control unit to control the rotational difference generator based on the planned traveling route to cause a rotational difference between the first and second wheels. Based on the planned traveling route, the second control unit is configured or programmed to cause the braking device to perform setting about braking of either the first or second wheels by performing pumping control.
