Abstract

A work vehicle according to the present invention is provided with: a travel device; a PTO shaft that supplies power to a work machine; a first electric motor that drives the travel device; a second electric motor that drives the PTO shaft; a PTO switch that switches ON / OFF of the rotation of the PTO shaft; a PTO clutch that is disposed between the second electric motor and the PTO shaft; and a control device. When the PTO switch has been switched from OFF to ON in a state in which the rotation speed of the second electric motor is higher than a reference value, the control device reduces the rotation speed of the second electric motor to the reference value and then switches the PTO clutch from a disconnected state to a connected state.
