When the second hydraulic actuator and the first hydraulic actuator are operated in combination, the controller reduces the amount of change in the flow rate of a hydraulic fluid supplied from the first control valve to the first hydraulic actuator with respect to changes in a manipulation amount to operate the first hydraulic actuator to a value smaller than that when the first hydraulic actuator is solely operated.

In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a material moving machine comprises a pilot hydraulic switching system. The pilot hydraulic switching system comprises a control unit, a first directional valve, and a second directional valve. The control unit is configured to operate the first and second directional valves to shift a variable position actuator valve between a static state, a retract state, and an extend state. The actuator valve comprises a first and second control element. In the retract and extend states, the first and second directional valves control fluid flow to the variable position actuator valve with a positive net pressure on either the first or second control elements and a negative net pressure on the other control element to move the material moving implement. In the static state, the first and second directional valves control fluid flow equally on the first and second control elements.

An object of the present invention is to provide a construction machine that can use the return oil from a hydraulic actuator effectively. For this purpose, a controller computes a flow rate of the return oil from a first hydraulic actuator on the basis of an operation signal from a first operation device, computes a flow rate of oil to be supplied to a second hydraulic actuator on the basis of an operation signal from a second operation device, sets smaller one of the flow rate of the return oil and the flow rate of the oil to be supplied, as a regeneration flow rate that is a flow rate of oil to be regenerated in the second hydraulic actuator, sets a flow rate obtained by subtracting the regeneration flow rate from the flow rate of the return oil, as a recovery flow rate that is a flow rate of oil to be recovered to a pressure accumulating device, adjusts an opening degree of a first control valve 2 such that a flow rate of oil supplied from the first hydraulic actuator to the pressure accumulating device coincides with the recovery flow rate, and adjusts an opening degree of a second control valve such that a flow rate of oil supplied from the first hydraulic actuator to the second hydraulic actuator coincides with the regeneration flow rate.
