To make it possible to efficiently utilize rated output torque of a prime mover by performing total torque control with high precision through precise detection of absorption torque of another hydraulic pump by use of a purely hydraulic structure and feedback of the absorption torque to the side of one hydraulic pump, delivery pressure of a main pump and a load sensing drive pressure are supplied to a torque feedback circuit, which modifies the delivery pressure of the main pump to achieve a characteristic simulating the absorption torque of the main pump, and outputs the modified pressure. An output pressure of the torque feedback circuit is supplied to a torque feedback piston, which controls displacement of the main pump so as to decrease the displacement of the main pump and thereby decrease maximum torque as the output pressure increases.
