WORK VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING WORK VEHICLE

Abstract: a work vehicle capable of automatic steering driving includes a positioning system to perform positioning of the work vehicle, and a controller including a non-volatile memory. the controller is configured or programmed to estimate an orientation of the work vehicle based on a change over time of a position of the work vehicle measured by the positioning system, perform automatic steering control of the work vehicle based on the position and the orientation of the work vehicle and a set target route, store the orientation of the work vehicle in the non-volatile memory in response to a key-off operation of the work vehicle, and after a key-on operation of the work vehicle is performed, initiate the automatic steering control using the orientation stored in the non-volatile memory as an initial orientation of the work vehicle.
