First Claim
1. A work vehicle comprising:
- a driving wheel motor structured to drive at least one driving wheel;
a working implement-related motor structured to drive at least one working implement;
at least one controller;
at least one operator sensor structured to detect an amount of operation of at least one operator;
a mode instruction device structured to instruct switching between a working travelling cooperative mode and at least one other drive mode based on a switching operation of a user; and

a working implement-related control unit structured to control operation of the working implement-related motor;
wherein the mode instruction device is structured to instruct switching between the working travelling cooperative mode and an economy mode based on the switching operation of the user, the working travelling cooperative mode and the economy mode, each of which sets a working implement-related target rotational speed employed when the working implement-related motor is driven;
wherein, when switching to the working travelling cooperative mode is performed by the mode instruction device, the working implement-related control unit sets a relationship between a target vehicle speed and the working implement-related target rotational speed to a working travelling cooperative relationship in which the working implement-related target rotational speed of the working implement-related motor is increased according to the increase in the target vehicle speed of the work vehicle at least in a predetermined vehicle speed range of the work vehicle, and controls the working implement-related motor to implement the working travelling cooperative mode; and
wherein, when switching to the economy mode is performed by the mode instruction device, and the working implement start switch is turned on, the drive control unit changes allowable maximum speed of the target vehicle speed to economic maximum speed that is lower than when switching to the working travelling cooperative mode is performed and controls rotational speed of the driving wheel motor, and the working implement-related control unit controls the working implement-related motor to rotate at a constant working implement-related rotational speed set in advance.

Abstract
A work vehicle includes a driving wheel motor for driving at least one driving wheel, a working implement-related motor for driving at least one working implement, and at least one controller. The at least one controller sets, upon satisfaction of a predetermined condition set in advance, a relationship between vehicle speed of the work vehicle and working implement-related target rotational speed of the working implement-related motor to a working travelling cooperative relationship according to which the working implement-related target rotational speed is increased according to an increase in the vehicle speed at least within a predetermined vehicle speed range of the work vehicle, and controls the working implement-related motor to implement a working travelling cooperative mode in which the working implement-related motor is driven at the working implement-related target rotational speed based on the working travelling cooperative relationship.
