1. A working machine comprising:
a machine body;
a left traveling device provided on a left portion of the machine body;
a right traveling device provided on a right portion of the machine body;
a left traveling motor configured to output power to the left traveling device;
a right traveling motor configured to output power to the right traveling device;
a left traveling pump to supply operation fluid to the left traveling motor, the left traveling pump including a first pressure receiving portion and a second pressure receiving portion so that operation fluid is used to apply a pressure to at least one of the first and second pressure receiving portions;
a right traveling pump to supply operation fluid to the right traveling motor, the right traveling pump including a third pressure receiving portion and a fourth pressure receiving portion so that operation fluid is used to apply a pressure to at least one of the third and fourth pressure receiving portions;
a traveling operation device including
a traveling operation member operably movable from a neutral position to any one of a left-front operation area, a right-front operation area, a left-rear operation area and a right-rear operation area,
the traveling operation device being configured to apply the pressure of operation fluid to at least one of the first, second, third and fourth pressure receiving portions corresponding to an operational position of the traveling operation member in any one of the left-front, right-front, left-rear and right-rear operation areas;
a first traveling fluid line connected to the first pressure receiving portion, the operation fluid having a pressure applied to the first pressure receiving portion being passed through the first traveling fluid line according to operation of the traveling operation member;
a second traveling fluid line connected to the second pressure receiving portion, the operation fluid having a pressure applied to the second pressure receiving portion being passed through the second traveling fluid line according to operation of the traveling operation member;
a third traveling fluid line connected to the third pressure receiving portion, the operation fluid having a pressure applied to the third pressure receiving portion being passed through the third traveling fluid line according to operation of the traveling operation member;
a fourth traveling fluid line connected to the fourth pressure receiving portion, the operation fluid having a pressure applied to the fourth pressure receiving portion being passed through the fourth traveling fluid line according to operation of the traveling operation member;
a first pressure detector configured to detect a first pilot pressure that is the pressure of operation fluid passed through the first traveling fluid line;
a second pressure detector configured to detect a second pilot pressure that is the pressure of operation fluid passed through the second traveling fluid line;
a third pressure detector configured to detect a third pilot pressure that is the pressure of operation fluid passed through the third traveling fluid line;
a fourth pressure detector configured to detect a fourth pilot pressure that is the pressure of operation fluid passed through the fourth traveling fluid line; and
a controller configured or programed to determine in which of the left-front, right-front, left-rear and right-rear operation areas an operational position of the traveling operation member exists,
wherein the controller is configured or programmed to
determine the operational position of the traveling operation member as existing in any one of the left-front operation area, a left side area in the left-rear operation area bordered by an oblique line extending leftwardly rearward from the neutral position, and a left side area in the right-front operation area bordered by an oblique line extending rightwardly forward from the neutral position when the third pilot pressure is higher than the fourth pilot pressure,
determine the operational position of the traveling operation member as existing in any one of the right-front operation area, a right side area in the right-rear operation area bordered by an oblique line extending rightwardly rearward from the neutral position, and a right side area in the left-front operation area bordered by an oblique line extending leftwardly forward from the neutral position when the first pilot pressure is higher than the second pilot pressure, and
determine the operational position of the traveling operation member as existing in either a right side area in the left-rear operation area bordered by the oblique line extending leftwardly rearward from the neutral position or a left side area in the right-rear operation area bordered by the oblique line extending rightwardly rearward from the neutral position when the third pilot pressure is less than the fourth pilot pressure and the first pilot pressure is less than the second pilot pressure.
