Abstract
The invention relates to a hydrostatic drive (1) with a hydraulic pump (2) and a first hydraulic engine (10) that is linked with the hydraulic pump (2) via a first working line section (4), the hydraulic engine driving a first drive train (11). The hydrostatic drive further comprises a second hydraulic engine (14) that is linked with the first hydraulic engine (10) via a second working line section (5), the second hydraulic engine driving a second drive train (15). The second hydraulic engine (14) is linked with the hydraulic pump (3) via a third working line section (6). According to the invention, an on-off valve (8) is located in the first working line section (4) and the second working line section (5). When a slip arises at the first drive train (11), said on-off valve can link the first working line section (5) with the second working line section (5) directly, that is while by-passing the first hydraulic engine (10).
