Abstract: A crawler-type work machine includes left and right steering brakes configured to brake left and right output shafts, a turning motor configured to produce a rotation speed difference between the left and right output shafts, work implement cylinders configured to drive a work implement attached to a vehicle body, a hydraulic pressure supply unit configured to supply hydraulic fluid to the turning motor and the work implement cylinders, and a controller configured to control the hydraulic pressure supply unit. The controller is configured to execute a hydraulic fluid amount control in order to reduce the hydraulic fluid amount supplied from the hydraulic pressure supply unit to the turning motor when the work implement cylinders are driven while the turning motor is rotating.

Abstract: A controller of a crawler type work machine controls left and right steering clutches, left and right steering brakes, and a turning motor to cause the crawler type work machine to turn in either a slow turning mode or a pivot turning mode. The controller executes a hydraulic fluid amount control to reduce a hydraulic fluid amount supplied from a hydraulic pressure supply unit to the turning motor and to increase the hydraulic fluid amount supplied from the hydraulic pressure supply unit from the hydraulic pressure supply unit to the work implement cylinder when the work implement cylinder is driven while the turning motor is being rotated.

Abstract: A bulldozer has a left planetary gear mechanism, a left steering clutch, and a first clutch gear. The left planetary gear mechanism is disposed between an input shaft and a left output shaft. The left steering clutch switches between transmitting and blocking a rotational force from the input shaft to the left output shaft by the left planetary gear mechanism. The first clutch gear is attached to the left steering clutch. The left steering clutch can is configured to be engaged or disengaged with a left sun gear. The first clutch gear is fixed in an unrotatable manner.

Abstract: A work vehicle includes a rotary member, a support member, a sealing ring, a pressure controller, and a vehicle speed determination component. The rotary member has a first hydraulic fluid supply channel to supply the hydraulic fluid to the steering clutch, and is rotated by power from the transmission when the steering clutch is engaged. The sealing ring is disposed between the rotary member and the support member and is mounted adjacent to the connected part between the first hydraulic fluid supply channel and the second hydraulic fluid supply channel. The pressure controller controls the engagement pressure to be a specific first pressure when the vehicle speed is determined not to be equal to or greater than a specific speed, and controls the engagement pressure to decrease from the first pressure when the vehicle speed is determined to be equal to or greater than a specific speed.

Abstract: A bulldozer causes left and right steering clutches to engage and left and right steering brakes to release when an operating amount of a steering lever is greater than a first predetermined amount and less than a second predetermined amount, and drives a turning motor so that the rotation speed of an inside output shaft becomes lower than the rotation speed of an outside output shaft as the operating amount of the steering lever increases. A controller causes the engagement rate of an inside steering clutch to decrease and causes an inside steering brake to brake when the operating amount of the steering lever is equal to or greater than the second predetermined amount.

Abstract: A controller provided in a bulldozer maintains the engagement of an inside steering clutch over a predetermined period beginning from a switching start point at which switching starts, when switching from a slow turn mode to a pivot turn mode, and when switching from the pivot turn mode to the slow turn mode, maintains the braking of an inside steering brake over a predetermined period beginning from a switching start point at which the switching starts.

Abstract: The bulldozer has a right first oil channel, a right second oil channel, and a right third oil channel. The right first oil channel guides a portion of the lubricating oil discharged by a hydraulic pump to a right steering brake. The right second first oil channel guides a portion of the lubricating oil discharged by the hydraulic pump to a right planetary gear mechanism. The right third oil channel guides at least a portion of the lubricating oil that has passed through the right planetary gear mechanism to a right steering brake. At least a portion of the planetary gear mechanism is disposed further inside than the right steering brake in a radial direction perpendicular to the center axis of an input shaft.

Abstract: A bulldozer includes a control unit for controlling left and right steering clutches and left and right steering brakes, thereby executing a turning control of the vehicle. The control unit switches between a clutch control and a brake control on the basis of a differential between an actual turning radius and a target turning radius.
