Abstract:
1. A vehicle speed control arrangement for a work vehicle, comprising: speed change operating means for speed-changing a stepless speed change device to change an output from the stepless speed change device; a brake device for braking a wheel with a braking force according to an operational position of an operational pedal which is automatically returned to a stepping release position; a pedal sensor for detecting the operational position of the operational pedal; and controlling means for controlling an operation of the speed change operating means based on the output from the pedal sensor, thereby to change the output from the stepless speed change device to a speed according to the output from the pedal sensor in a speed change range between a set speed preset by a speed change operational tool and a zero speed; wherein said controlling means includes, as speed change output setting data indicative of relationship between operational positions of the operational pedal and outputs from the stepless speed change device, first data for setting a deceleration completion position of the operational pedal where the output from the stepless speed change device is zero to provide a larger operational amount of the operational pedal from said stepping release position, and second data for setting said deceleration completion position to provide a smaller operational amount of the operational pedal from said stepping release position; and wherein upon detection, from the output from said pedal sensor during execution of a controlling operation based on said first data, that the operational position of the operational pedal is at a position on the side of a stepping limit position beyond said deceleration completion position, said controlling means is switched over from a state for executing the controlling operation based on said first data to a state for executing the controlling operation based on said second data.
