Work machine

Abstract

A work machine includes a flow control valve that controls a flow rate of a hydraulic fluid supplied to a hydraulic actuator, a center bypass line that introduces the hydraulic fluid from a pump through a center bypass passage section of the flow control valve into the tank, a bypass cutoff valve that controls an opening of the center bypass line, a solenoid proportional valve that generates a pilot pressure for controlling the bypass cutoff valve, a pilot valve that generates a pilot pressure for controlling the flow control valve on the basis of an amount of operation of an operation device, and a controller that controls the solenoid proportional valve on the basis of the amount of operation. The controller controls the solenoid proportional valve to reduce an opening area of the bypass cutoff valve according to an increase in the amount of operation in a case the amount of operation is less than a predetermined amount of operation, and controls the solenoid proportional valve to make the opening area of the bypass cutoff valve larger than the minimum opening area in a case the amount of operation is a maximum amount of operation.
