Work machine
A load sensing valve maintains a differential pressure at a set pressure by controlling a regulator in accordance with a differential pressure between a discharge pressure of a hydraulic pump and a load pressure of hydraulic actuators. A set pressure control device controls the set pressure. A controller controls the set pressure control device to reduce the set pressure more than when the work implement is being operated, when a predetermined determination condition that includes the work implement not being operated is satisfied.
