Abstract
A work machine includes: a hydraulic actuator; a closed-circuit pump that is connected to the hydraulic actuator in a closed circuit, and supplies and discharges a hydraulic working fluid to and from the hydraulic actuator; an open-circuit pump that is connected to the hydraulic actuator in an open circuit, and supplies the hydraulic working fluid to the hydraulic actuator; a charge pump; a charge flow path that introduces the hydraulic working fluid delivered from the charge pump to the closed circuit; an excess fluid discharging device that discharges an excess hydraulic working fluid of the closed circuit to the charge flow path; and a controller that controls a delivery capacity of the closed-circuit pump and a delivery capacity of the open-circuit pump. The controller increases the delivery capacity of the open-circuit pump, or reduces the delivery capacity of the closed-circuit pump when a state of a pressure of the charge flow path has transited to be lower than a predetermined pressure threshold from equal to or higher than the predetermined pressure threshold, or when a state of the work device has transited to a state of performing the excavation work from a state of not-…
