[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in a power vehicle equipped with such a high / low speed switching device, the high / low speed switching device is switched to the high speed side when the steering wheel has a turning angle exceeding a predetermined angle. In addition, although the conventional device is provided with a mechanism for artificially releasing such interlocking as a safety measure, if the releasing operation is forgotten, it is traveling at high speed on a general road and the handle is accidentally enlarged. When turned off, there was a problem in that the high / low speed switching device was switched to the high speed side, which created a dangerous state in which the operator might be shaken off the aircraft.

Next, the external power take-off (PTO) system will be described. In the mission case 4, a PTO hydraulic clutch 24 is provided separately from the traveling system, and a PTO transmission 25 capable of shifting a plurality of stages is provided behind the hydraulic clutch 24. 26
Is a PTO shaft, which is given a rotation changed by the PTO transmission 25, and drives a work machine connected to the tractor 1. 27 is a switch for turning on and off the PTO hydraulic clutch 24, and 28 is a sensor for detecting the rotation of the PTO shaft 26.
Further, FIG. 3 shows a control system, in which 29 is a hydraulic pump, 30 is an electric valve for switching the hydraulic clutches 22 and 23, and solenoids 31 and 32 are provided and controlled by a controller 33. 34
Is a turning detection switch for detecting that the pitman arm 36 which is turned by operating the steering handle 35 is turned by a predetermined angle or more. When the turning detection switch 34 is on and the rotation sensor 28 is PT.
Only when the rotation state of O-axis 26 is detected, the controller 33
Is instructed to connect the high speed hydraulic clutch 23. Therefore, when the PTO shaft 26 is stopped, that is, when the work is completed and the vehicle is moving on the road or the like, the high speed hydraulic clutch 23 does not work even if the steering handle 35 is rotated by a predetermined angle or more. It's safe. In this embodiment, except for the above case, the low speed hydraulic clutch 22 is connected during the operation of the engine 2. Reference numeral 40 denotes a switch for keeping the solenoid valve 30 in a neutral state. When this switch is turned on, the solenoid valve 30 becomes a neutral state by the command of the controller 33, the rotation of the front wheels 5, 5 becomes free, and the state is switched to the rear wheel drive state.

Next, the operation will be described. When a work machine such as a rotary tiller is connected to the rear part of the tractor 1 to perform work while driving each rotating part, only the low speed hydraulic clutch 22 operates and the machine advances in a normal four-wheel drive state. Then, when turning at the end of the field, the steering handle 35 is largely turned, but in this case, when the pitman arm 36 is turned by a predetermined angle or more, the turning detection switch 34 is turned on,
Moreover, at this time, since the sensor 28 detects the rotation of the PTO shaft 26, the high speed hydraulic clutch 23 is connected and the front wheels 5, 5
The aircraft is turned while the peripheral speed of is increased to about twice the low speed. On the other hand, the PTO hydraulic clutch 24 is disconnected when traveling from the field to the road after finishing the work, but the rotation of the PTO shaft 26 is stopped by disconnecting the hydraulic clutch 24, and the rotation sensor 28 detects this, the controller 33 outputs a switching signal to low speed,
The low speed hydraulic clutch 22 is connected. In this case, the high-speed hydraulic clutch 23 is not connected even if the steering handle 35 is largely turned, because the PTO shaft 26 is stopped.

That is, when driving on the road where the PTO axis is not rotating,
The front wheel speed-increasing mechanism does not work even if the steering wheel is operated greatly, and the safety is improved because the front wheel speed-increasing mechanism operates only when the work is performed while rotating the PTO shaft in the field.
