- the limit amount of the operation speed of the bucket cylinder 10 is changed based on the boom raising operation amount BVC or the boom 3 rising speed, the reduction amount of the operation speed of the bucket 4 is also changed. For this reason, compared with the case where the operation speed of the bucket cylinder 10 is uniformly restricted in the impact suppression control during dumping, the operation speed of the bucket 4 can be increased. In this way, since the delay of the operation of the bucket 4 by the operator with respect to the bucket operation lever 32 is suppressed, the uncomfortable feeling experienced by the operator is suppressed, and the decrease in productivity is also suppressed.
- the control device 40 when the operation possible amount SCRm is less than the predetermined value SCRc, the control device 40 performs the dumping impact suppression control using the second table TBA.
- the operation possible amount SCRm during operation is less than the predetermined value SCRc and the bucket 4 performs the dumping operation when the boom raising operation amount BVC or the boom 3 ascending speed is 0, the above-described mud dropping is performed. I can judge. For example, when the remaining length of the bucket cylinder 10 until the bucket 4 comes into contact with the dump stopper STPD is about 100 mm, it can be determined that mud dropping is being performed, so that it can be set to 100 mm. For this reason, the predetermined value SCRc can be set to 100 mm, for example, but is not limited thereto.
- the second table TBB has the limit rate LQ of 100% regardless of the reach distance SCR. Is not limited, and the bucket 4 operates at an operation speed according to the operation of the bucket operation lever 32 by the operator.

In this case, since it is determined that mud dropping is being performed, the control device 40 does not execute the shock suppression control at the time of dumping, so that the target flow rate at the time of dumping determined from the operation amount of the bucket operation lever 32 is obtained.
- the hydraulic oil is supplied to the bucket cylinder 10.
- Step S101 when the bucket dump operation amount QBKd is less than the bucket dump operation amount threshold QBKdc (No in Step S101), the control device 40 does not execute the dump impact suppression control, returns to the start, and performs Step S101 and subsequent steps. Execute the process.
- the control device 40 executes the dump impact suppression control on the condition that the bucket dump operation amount QBKd is equal to or greater than the bucket dump operation amount threshold QBKdc. If the operator operates the bucket operation lever 32 and the bucket dump operation amount QBKd becomes less than the bucket dump operation amount threshold value QBKdc (step S101), the dump impact suppression control is not executed.
- the dump impact suppression control is not executed.
- the impact suppression control during dumping is terminated on condition that the bucket dump operation amount QBKd is equal to or greater than the bucket dump operation amount threshold QBKdc.
- the condition may be that the bucket dump operation amount QBKd is equal to or less than the end determination threshold value QBKdd.
- the end determination threshold value QBKdd is smaller than the bucket dump operation amount threshold value QBKdc.
- the fact that the bucket dump operation amount QBKd is equal to or greater than the bucket dump operation amount threshold value QBKdc is one of the conditions for starting the impact suppression control during dumping.
- the dump dump operation amount QBKd is large enough to allow an impact when the bucket 4 is in contact with the dump stopper STPD, the dump dump operation amount QBKd is produced by not executing the dump impact suppression control. And operability can be improved.
