WORK VEHICLE

Provided is a work vehicle capable of excavating an excavation object efficiently and in various excavation patterns with appropriate fuel efficiency, regardless of the operator's skill level. The work vehicle includes a controller. The controller executes control including insertion control, acceleration control, and deceleration control. The insertion control keeps the tilt amount (stroke amount S2) of the bucket and increases the lift amount (stroke amount S1) of the lift arm in the insertion period Ph1 from the timing when the work vehicle meets an entry condition for object, where the acceleration α of the vehicle becomes negative, to the timing when the acceleration α first becomes positive. The acceleration control keeps the tilt amount and increases the lift amount if the acceleration condition that the acceleration α becomes positive is met in the lift period Ph2 from the timing when the work vehicle first meets the insertion condition to the timing when the end condition is met, where the lift amount and the tilt amount reach their specified values. The deceleration control keeps the lift amount and increases the tilt amount when the deceleration condition that the acceleration α becomes negative is met in the lift period Ph2.
