ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a load controller for use in a hydrostatic transmission for a work vehicle. Power supplied from an engine is branched to drive an implement system and a traveling system. The hydrostatic transmission connects, in an oil-hydraulic closed circuit, an oil-hydraulic pump driven by the engine and an oil-hydraulic motor driven by the oil-hydraulic pump. The load controller includes a bypass oil line for bypassing an oil line that has high pressure during forward movement in the oil-hydraulic closed circuit to reach an oil line that has low pressure during forward movement or an oil tank; a first opening/closing valve for opening or closing the bypass oil line; and an opening/closing valve controller that detects a load applied to the engine while traveling during working and opens the first opening/closing valve when the load exceeds a predetermined level.
