Patent attributes
A hydraulic excavator is provided which can suppress the fuel consumption amount and improve the work efficiency by reducing the hydraulic pressure loss generated when a plurality of hydraulic actuators different in load are operated simultaneously. The hydraulic excavator includes a center bypass flow control valve that is arranged at the most downstream of a center bypass line and limits the flow rate of hydraulic fluid passing through the center bypass line in response to the operation amount of the second operation device in a case where a second operation device is operated, and a spool stroke limitation device that, in a case where a first operation device and the second operation device are operated simultaneously, limits the spool stroke amount of a second directional control valve in response to the operation amount of the first operation device in a state in which the spool stroke amount of a third directional control valve is controlled in response to the operation amount of the second operation device.
