Abstract
The height of a heap of material formed by a stacking work is appropriately determined. A work machine main body includes a travel body. A work implement is attached to the work machine main body and includes a bucket. A controller commands operation of the travel body and the work implement. The controller determines a stacking height (H1) that is a height of a heap of material formed by the material in the bucket being discharged onto a ground in a state where the travel body is grounded to the ground from a mechanical dimension including a dimension of the work machine main body and a dimension of the work implement.
