Abstract
Problem: In a case where the hydraulic actuator A supplied with hydraulic oil only from the first hydraulic pump and the hydraulic actuator B supplied with hydraulic oil from the first and second hydraulic pumps are operated simultaneously, even if the required flow rate for the first hydraulic pump of the hydraulic actuators A and B exceeds the first hydraulic pump maximum discharge flow rate, the hydraulic actuators A and B can be driven at the operation speed corresponding to the operation amount of the operation means. Solution: A target flow rate correction means is provided for setting the bucket cylinder required flow rate as a target flow rate from the hydraulic pump to the bucket cylinder, a flow rate obtained by subtracting the bucket cylinder required flow rate from the pump maximum discharge flow rate as a target flow rate from the hydraulic pump to the boom cylinder, and setting a flow rate obtained by subtracting the target flow rate from the hydraulic pump to the boom cylinder from the bucket cylinder total required flow rate as a target flow rate from the hydraulic pump to the boom cylinder.
