Abstract

A work vehicle includes a reducing agent tank, a battery, a reducing agent tank mounting member, a battery cover and a first guide member. The battery and the tank are positioned in a row. The mounting member has a bottom plate, and a partition plate extending upward from the bottom plate between the tank and the battery. The tank is mounted on the bottom plate. The battery cover has an upper plate above the battery, and a side plate extending downward from a side of the upper plate between the tank and the battery. The first guide member extends from the side plate toward the tank and slopes downward. Preferably, a first end of a second guide member disposed below the first guide member is positioned closer to the battery than a distal end of the first guide member, with the second guide member sloping downward toward the tank.
