Abstract
A work vehicle having a plurality of working modes allowing working in accordance with a load state includes an engine, an exhaust gas purification apparatus, a reducing agent tank, a state determination portion, and an engine control unit. The exhaust gas purification apparatus purifies a nitrogen oxide in an exhaust gas. The reducing agent tank stores a reducing agent. The state determination portion determines a state of the reducing agent. The engine control unit controls output of the engine with the use of a restricted-operation engine output torque curve in which horsepower output from the engine is lower than horsepower output from the engine at the time when each of the plurality of working modes is selected, when a state of the reducing agent is equal to or lower than a reference value.
