Abstract
A pump displacement control cylinder is configured to control the displacement of a hydraulic pump according to pressure of hydraulic fluid and switches the discharge direction of the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump according to the supply direction of the hydraulic fluid to the pump displacement control cylinder. A forward and backward progression switching valve is configured to switch the supply direction of the hydraulic fluid to the pump displacement control cylinder. A pressure control valve is configured to control the pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplied to the pump displacement control cylinder according to a command value input to the pressure control valve. A control section is configured to execute pump shuttle control which reduces the command value to the pressure control valve when switching between forward and backward progression using a forward and backward progression operation member.
