Work vehicle and control method for work vehicle
A work vehicle includes an engine, a traveling pump driven by the engine, a hydraulic circuit connected to the traveling pump, a traveling motor connected to the traveling pump via the hydraulic circuit, a rotational speed sensor configured to output a signal indicative of engine speed a hydraulic pressure sensor configured to output a signal indicative of hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic circuit, a controller. The controller receives the signals from the rotational speed sensor and the hydraulic pressure sensor. The controller determines whether the engine is in an over-rotation state based on engine speed. The controller determines an upper limit value of a displacement of the traveling pump based on hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic circuit. The controller limits the displacement of the traveling pump to the upper limit value or less upon determining that the engine is in the over-rotation state.
