Abstract
A bulldozer includes an engine, first and second exhaust treatment apparatuses, and an engine hood. The first and second apparatuses are arranged above the engine. The hood covers upper parts of the first and second apparatuses. Longitudinal directions of the first and second apparatuses extend along the vehicle front and back direction. The hood has an upper surface, left and right side surfaces, and first and second inclined surfaces. The first and second inclined surfaces contact the rear side of the upper surface and rear sides of the left and right side surfaces, respectively. The first and second inclined surfaces are inclined more obliquely to the right and left rear than the left and right side surfaces, respectively, and face downward to the rear. Front edges of the first and second inclined surfaces are positioned in front of rear edges of the first and second apparatuses.
