Abstract
A work vehicle includes a lifting mechanism to control at least one of a height and a posture of a work machine connected to the work vehicle. The lifting mechanism is able to control at least one of the height and the posture by using a hydraulic drive. The work vehicle includes an oil-temperature acquirer to acquire an oil temperature to be used for the hydraulic drive, a maximum oil amount setter to set a maximum oil amount according to the oil temperature acquired by the oil-temperature acquirer, the maximum oil amount being a maximum value of a supply amount of oil used to drive the hydraulic drive, and a hydraulic drive controller to control the hydraulic drive below the maximum oil amount set by the maximum oil amount setter.
Claims5
A work vehicle comprising:
- a hydraulic drive;
- a lifting mechanism to control at least one of a height and a posture of a work machine connected to the work vehicle using the hydraulic drive;
- an oil-temperature acquirer to acquire an oil temperature to be used for the hydraulic drive;
- a maximum oil amount setter to set a maximum oil amount according to the oil temperature acquired by the oil-temperature acquirer, the maximum oil amount being a maximum value of a supply amount of oil used to drive the hydraulic drive;
- and
- a hydraulic drive controller to control the hydraulic drive below the maximum oil amount set by the maximum oil amount setter;
- wherein
- a selection of either one of an accuracy priority in which priority is given to an accuracy of a target position to which the work machine is moved and a time priority in which priority is given to a time required to move the work machine to the target position is possible;
- and
- the maximum oil amount setter is configured or programmed to:
- when the accuracy priority is selected, set the maximum oil amount according to the oil temperature.
