Abstract:
A bulldozer includes a blade pivotably attached to a vehicle body, a blade operation lever, and a blade control section. The blade operation lever outputs a lowering instruction signal, a holding instruction signal, and a raising instruction signal for the blade. The blade control section controls a height of the blade according the signal input. The blade control section can lower the blade to a predetermined position when the lowering instruction signal and the holding instruction signal are input in order after a transmission has been switched from a state, which is different from an advancing state, to the advancing state. The blade control section can raise the blade to a predetermined position when the raising instruction signal and the holding instruction signal are input in order after a transmission has been switched from a state, which is different from a reversing state, to the reversing state.
