1. A working vehicle comprising:
a prime mover;
a traveling device;
a traveling clutch switchable between an engaged state to transmit, to the traveling device, power provided from the prime mover and a disengaged state to interrupt the power transmitting to the traveling device;
an automatic switching controller to switch the traveling clutch from the disengaged state to the engaged state;
a status detector to detect at least either a status of the prime mover or a status of the traveling device; wherein the automatic switching controller is configured or programmed to change a switching speed of the traveling clutch switched from the disengaged state to the engaged state based on the status detected by the status detector;
a brake to apply a braking action to the traveling device in response to an operation of a braking operator;
a braking controller to execute the braking action with the brake in response to the operation of the braking operator; and
a selector operable to select whether or not to allow the braking controller to execute the braking action with the brake; wherein
when the selector is operated to determine not to allow the braking controller to execute the braking action, the automatic switching controller switches the traveling clutch between the disengaged state and the engaged state in response to the operation of the braking operator.
