A working machine includes a switching valve to switch between a first state and a second state, the first state allowing a revolving speed of a traveling motor to be a first speed, the second state allowing the revolving speed of the traveling motor to be a second speed, and a controller device to reduce the revolving speed of the prime mover in either acceleration to switch from the first state to the second state or deceleration to switch from the second state to the first state. The controller device associates a return timing with a switch timing in either the acceleration or deceleration, the return timing allowing an actual revolving speed of a prime mover to start returning toward a first target revolving speed after the actual revolving speed is reduced, the switch timing allowing the switching valve to switch to either an acceleration side or a deceleration side.

A work vehicle includes a hydraulic actuator, a hydraulic pump, an operation member, a control valve, an angular velocity corresponding value sensing unit, a notification component, and a controller. The actuator changes a steering angle based on a supplied fluid. The pump supplies fluid to the actuator. The operation member is operated by an operator when the steering angle is changed. The valve controls flow of fluid supplied from the pump to the actuator based on an amount the operation member is operated. The sensing unit senses a corresponding value corresponding to a steering angular velocity changed based on the flow of fluid. The notification component notifies that the corresponding value has reached a threshold value preset based on an upper limit of the steering angular velocity. The controller causes the notification component to perform a notification when it is detected that the corresponding value has reached the threshold value.
