Abstract

A first hydraulic circuit comprises a variable displacement hydraulic pump driven by a prime mover, a variable displacement hydraulic motor connected in a closed circuit to the variable displacement hydraulic pump, and a displacement control means for controlling a displacement of the variable displacement hydraulic motor. A second hydraulic circuit comprises a hydraulic pump driven by the prime mover, and drives a loader attachment. A displacement limitation means limits the maximum value of the displacement of the variable displacement hydraulic motor in accordance with a load pressure of the second hydraulic circuit. For example, the displacement limitation means reduces the maximum value of the displacement of the variable displacement hydraulic motor in proportion to the pressure in the second hydraulic circuit. The motor torque is controlled by directly adjusting the displacement of the motor, and a load of the hydraulic motor can thus be stably controlled.
