WORK VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING WORK VEHICLE

A storage section stores inching characteristic information. The inching characteristic information defines a relationship between an inching operation quantity and an inching characteristic value. The inching characteristic value is a value dependent on pilot pressure that is reduced through inching control. A computing section references the inching characteristic information to thereby compute, from the inching operation quantity detected by the inching operation quantity detector, a command value to the pilot pressure control valve. In the inching characteristic information, a rate of lowering the inching characteristic value when the inching operation quantity is within a first range (R1) is greater than a rate of lowering the inching characteristic value when the inching operation quantity is within a second range (R2) greater than the first range (R1).
