A work vehicle includes a lifting mechanism to control at least one of a height and a posture of a work machine connected to the work vehicle. The lifting mechanism is able to control at least one of the height and the posture by using a hydraulic drive. The work vehicle includes an oil-temperature acquirer to acquire an oil temperature to be used for the hydraulic drive, a maximum oil amount setter to set a maximum oil amount according to the oil temperature acquired by the oil-temperature acquirer, the maximum oil amount being a maximum value of a supply amount of oil used to drive the hydraulic drive, and a hydraulic drive controller to control the hydraulic drive below the maximum oil amount set by the maximum oil amount setter.

A power lift for an agricultural tractor includes a supporting structure configured to be mounted on the agricultural tractor. A left lower link, a right lower link, and an upper link are coupled in a pivotally movable manner, wherein the left and the right lower links and the upper link include coupling elements for attachment of an agricultural attachment. The left and the right lower links are rotatably coupled to one another via a lifting shaft, the lifting shaft being aligned with a lower link pivot axis. The left and the right lower links are pivotable by an actuating element which runs between at least one of the lower links and a support point of the supporting structure jointly about the lower link pivot axis in relation to the supporting structure.

A method is provided for determining a weight of a payload carried by a support structure of an agricultural utility vehicle via a hitch. The hitch includes at least one upper link and at least one lower link. The method includes determining the weight based on at least one of (1) an angle between the upper link and a vehicle horizontal, and (2) a holding force that arises at a connection between the upper link and the payload and is effective along the upper link.

A towing vehicle includes a vehicle body, a coupling device provided in a rear portion of the vehicle body, and an inching control switch located at a position in the rear portion of the vehicle body shifted from a center of the rear portion of the vehicle body in a vehicle width direction. The vehicle body has a mount surface provided adjacent to a rear corner thereof. The mount surface is exposed to the outside and the inching control switch projects from the mount surface to the outside of the vehicle. The mount surface extends at an angle with respect to the vehicle width direction. A part of the mount surface that is closest to the center of the rear portion in the vehicle width direction is located rearward of the other part of the mount surface that is most distant from the center of the rear portion.
