Disclosed is a work machine including a closed circuit system in which there is provided a flushing valve which realizes a satisfactory operability even when a load on a single rod cylinder is reversed, which is small in size, and which can cope with a high flow rate.
The flushing valve is equipped with: a valve main body; a spool which can select, in accordance with a position where the spool is arranged in the valve main body, connection between a first flow line and a third flow line, connection between a second flow line and the third flow line, or interruption of the connection between the first flow line, the second flow line, and the third flow line; a first liquid chamber that is provided inside the valve main body and into which a hydraulic working fluid from the first flow line flows; a first piston pressurizing the hydraulic working fluid having flowed into the first liquid chamber and moving the spool to a position where the second flow line and the third flow line are connected together, by the hydraulic pressure of the first liquid chamber; a second liquid chamber that is provided inside the valve main body and into which the hydraulic working fluid from the second flow line flows; and a second piston pressurizing the hydraulic working fluid having flowed into the second liquid chamber and moving the spool to a position where the first flow line and the third flow line are connected together, by the hydraulic pressure of the second liquid chamber.
