A work machine having an autonomous travel function may include: a cutting section that cuts a work target of the work machine； an image-capturing section that captures an image of the work target cut by the cutting section； and a judging section that judges a state of the cutting section based on the image captured by the image-capturing section. The judging section may judge whether maintenance of or a check on the cutting section is necessary or not based on a result of judgment about the state of the cutting section.
