A large hydraulic excavator permits an easy change from a machine mode corresponding to a backhoe excavator to a machine mode corresponding to a loader excavator, and vice versa. A hydraulic circuit is provided with hydraulic pumps and directional control valves, solenoid valves for controlling the hydraulic pumps and the directional control valves, and a controller for controlling the solenoid valves in accordance with operation of control lever devices and control pedal devices. The controller performs its control in a backhoe mode or loader mode selectively instructed by a mode instruction unit. Control of the solenoid valves in the backhoe mode makes the hydraulic circuit function as a backhoe hydraulic drive circuit, while control in the loader mode makes the hydraulic circuit function as a loader hydraulic drive circuit.

Hydraulic drive device for large hydraulic excavator

To permit a precise and easy adjustment of a pump absorption torque of a main pump in accordance with environmental conditions when a sub-pump different in characteristics from the main pump is connected to a prime mover. A main controllerincludes a processor means for setting the level of an absorption torque of a cooling fan pumpat a maximum absorption torque in use, a processor means for incrementing an adjustment target absorption torque for a main pumpat a slow rate from a sufficiently small pump absorption torque, and a processor means for repeating loading of a load factor signal and the increment of the adjustment target absorption torque as long as 'NO' is determined by a fourth determination means, and a processor means for storing the adjustment target absorption torque as an adjustment value when 'YES' has been determined by the fourth determination means.
