Abstract
A work vehicle includes a shift operation tool to operate a shift position of a transmission device; an engine control unit to start an engine based on a start command from a start operation tool and an operation state of the shift operation tool; a neutral position detector to detect the shift operation tool being at a neutral position and output a neutral position signal; an operation displacement amount detector to detect an operation displacement amount of the shift operation tool and output an operation displacement amount signal; a first safety confirmation section to confirm a first safe state in response to the neutral position signal; and a second safety confirmation section to confirm a second safe state based on the operation displacement amount. The engine control unit starts the engine in response to the start command received with the first safe state and the second safe state being confirmed.
