A hydraulic apparatus comprises first and second manifolds each of which is connected to a plurality of actuators via corresponding actuator valves connected in parallel and operated responsive to inputs to regulate the flow of fluid to the actuators. A plurality of working chambers are connectable to either the first or second manifold and have a net flow which is controlled responsive to a negative feedback signal. The negative feedback signal is determined in response to a calculated pressure or flow rate in virtual fluid flow paths extending from the first and second manifolds.

A hydraulic excavator includes a computer-aided construction controller for performing machine control to operate a front work implement based on detected results from posture sensors and predetermined conditions. The computer-aided construction controller has a calibration posture storing section that stores at least one predetermined calibration posture of the front work implement for calibrating the posture sensors, and a calibration posture controlling section that carries out the machine control to inactivate the hydraulic actuators if detection target values of the posture sensors in the calibration posture and the detected results from the posture sensors are equal to each other. The time required for calibration can thus be shortened by increasing the operability for adjusting a calibration posture.

A controller may receive a first input indicating that a machine is performing a lifting operation. The controller may determine that the machine is operating in a first lifting mode associated with a first lifting capacity during the lifting operation. In the first lifting mode, a pressure of a hydraulic pump of the machine is between a first value and a second value that exceeds the first value. The controller may receive sensor data indicating a current value for the pressure, during the lifting operation. The controller may determine that the current value is approaching the second value. The controller may receive a second input indicating that the machine is continuing to perform the lifting operation. The controller may cause, based on the second input, the machine to transition from operating in the first lifting mode to operating in a second lifting mode associated with a second lifting capacity.
