A hydraulic system is capable of improving the acceleration performance of a slewing motor and suppressing an increase in the flow rate of hydraulic fluid supplied to the slewing motor. The hydraulic system includes a slewing speed sensor that detects a slewing speed of a slewing body and a controller that controls a slewing motor capacity, which is a capacity of the slewing motor. The controller controls the slewing motor capacity so as to make the slewing motor capacity when the slewing speed is in a low speed range be greater than the slewing motor capacity when the slewing speed is in a high speed range.

In a power control device, when the necessary power is greater than an upper limit value and either the integral power value or the duration time of an assist provided by an electric storage device during a continuous assist by the electric storage device exceeds a predetermined first threshold value, a controller performs a first control of reducing an assist power by the electric storage device to a value smaller than an assist power for the regular control and greater than zero. Further, when the necessary power is greater than the upper limit value and either the integral power value or the duration time exceeds a predetermined second threshold value greater than the first threshold value, the controller performs a second control of setting the assist power to zero.
