Abstract

To provide a work vehicle capable of improving efficiency of wrapping work by computing a wrapping travel path, based on work route records by a roll baler. A work vehicle, which moves along position information by a GNSS receiver on a map in which a work travel path and a circling travel path by a roll baler are registered, includes a work locus recording control section that records a roll release point P together with a work locus, and generates a wrapping travel path when a wrapping machine is attached, based on the recorded roll release point. The traveling direction of the wrapping travel path is set to be orthogonal to an axial direction of a cylindrical roll at the roll release point.

Claims (8)

1 . A work vehicle attachable to a roller baler and a wrapping machine, the work vehicle comprising:

a work locus recording control section configured to record a roll release point by the roll baler when the roller baler is attached to the work vehicle; and

a path calculation section configured to generate a wrapping travel path, based on the recorded roll release point,

wherein the work vehicle is configured to move along the wrapping travel path when the wrapping machine is attached to the work vehicle,

a traveling direction of the wrapping travel path at the roll release point is a direction intersecting an axial direction of a cylindrical roll, and

a position of the roll release point in a direction intersecting the axial direction of a roll is adjustable based on image data of a position of the roll by an imaging device.

2 . The work vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein, when it is determined that the work vehicle cannot travel forward at a position of the roll release point, a reverse travel route is generated.

3 . The work vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the work vehicle travels along the wrapping travel path in an order starting from the roll release point closest to an end point of the work travel path followed by a plurality of further roll release points.
