Abstract:
A power transmission device of a work vehicle includes a mode switching mechanism configured to switch a drive power transmission route to one mode of at least two modes. A second mode is used in a range with the higher transmission speed ratio than a first mode. A controller increases the rotation speed of the engine from a first rotation speed for the engine corresponding to a first vehicle speed when the vehicle speed is within a range greater than the first vehicle speed where the transmission speed ratio reaches a predetermined first value that is less than the maximum value of the transmission speed ratio obtainable by the power transmission device. When the transmission route is in the second mode, the first value is greater than a second value of the transmission speed ratio at which the rotation speeds of the first motor and the second motor are equal.
