Claim:
1. A work vehicle comprising: a bucket configured to rotate about a tilt axis; a tilt cylinder configured to cause the bucket to rotate about the tilt axis; a stroke length detecting unit configured to detect a stroke length of the tilt cylinder; and a bucket information computing unit configured to obtain a tilt angle of the bucket on the basis of the stroke length detected by the stroke length detecting unit, the bucket information computing unit calculating an angle formed by a first line segment and a second line segment when viewing the tilt cylinder from an axial direction of the tilt axis, the first line segment linking a first end part and the tilt axis of the tilt cylinder, the second line segment linking a second end part and the tilt axis of the tilt cylinder, the bucket information computing unit using the formed angle to calculate the tilt angle.
