1. A working vehicle, comprising:
a travelable vehicle body;
a position detector to detect a position of the vehicle body based on a signal transmitted from a positioning satellite;
a controller configured or programmed to perform an automatic steering control in which steering of the vehicle body is automatically controlled based on detection information detected by the position detector;
a restraint to restrain the automatic steering control; and
a support bracket to support the position detector; wherein
the position detector is supported by the support bracket so as to be movable between a first position where the position detector is used and a second position lower than the first position;
the restraint is operable to restrain the automatic steering control when the position detector is in the second position;
the support bracket includes a pivotal shaft and a mounting stay rotatable around the pivotal shaft and structured to have the position detector mounted thereon;
the mounting stay includes a plate that reflects the signal transmitted from the positioning satellite so that the mounting stay defines and functions as the restraint; and
the mounting stay is disposed below the position detector when the position detector is in the first position, and, when the position detector is rotated from the first position together with the mounting stay around the pivotal shaft, the position detector is moved to the second position and the mounting stay is positioned above the position detector in the second position and covers over the position detector so as to restrain the automatic steering control.
