Abstract

A hydraulic four-wheel drive apparatus for driving by a hydraulic motor four wheels: steering wheels and driving wheels, in which the steering wheels are driven by a variable capacity motor for the steering wheels and a front differential gear unit, and the driving wheels are driven by a fixed capacity motor for the driving wheels, so that, when a vehicle turns, a swash plate of the variable capacity motor associates with operation of a steering handle, thereby accelerating the speeds of steering wheels.
