Abstract

A working machine includes a machine body, a working device provided on the machine body, an attachment provided on the working device to hold an elongated to-be-held object, a first sensor to recognize a position of one end portion of the to-be-held object, a setter to set a holding position based on a recognition result from the first sensor, the holding position being a position at which the to-be-held object is to be held by the attachment, a controller configured or programmed to control the working device. The controller is configured or programmed to control the working device to allow the attachment to hold the to-be-held object at the holding position set by the setter.
