Abstract:
1. A wheel loader having a low output mode and a high output mode as engine output modes, the wheel loader comprising: an engine; a transmission having an output shaft; an output shaft rotational speed sensor configured and arranged to detect a rotational speed of the output shaft; a driving wheel; a power transmission device configured to transmit driving force from the engine to the driving wheel; a work implement configured to be driven by the driving force from the engine; and an engine control device configured to execute a mode switching control of switching between the low output mode and the high output mode, the engine control device being configured and arranged to receive a detection signal from the output shaft rotational speed sensor, the engine control device comprising a microcomputer programmed to include the engine control device being configured to execute the mode switching control such that a time from start to end of the mode switching control is equal to the mode switching time set by the switching time controlling unit upon the traveling state detecting unit detecting that the wheel loader is in a hill-climb travelling state.
