A pilot pressure sensor detects a pilot pressure from an arm operating unit and outputs a pilot pressure signal. A drive signal corresponding to the pilot pressure signal is then outputted from a controller to a solenoid-operated proportional valve. Through the solenoid-operated proportional valve, a pilot pressure is fed to an auxiliary selector valve so that an opening of said auxiliary selector valve becomes greater. Of pressure oil delivered from a first hydraulic pump, a flow rate of the pressure oil to be branched to a side of a by-pass circuit is hence increased. The pressure oil fed through the by-pass circuit passes through a merging directional control valve and is caused to merge with pressure oil fed from a second hydraulic pump. The thus-merged pressure oil is then fed to a hydraulic arm cylinder.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A hydraulic circuit for a hydraulic shovel, comprising:at least a first hydraulic pressure source and a second hydraulic pressure source;a first directional control valve for controlling a flow of pressure oil delivered from said first hydraulic pressure source;a first hydraulic actuator operable by the pressure oil fed thereto via said first directional control valve;first operating means for designating operation of said first directional control valve;a second directional control valve for controlling a flow of pressure oil delivered from said second hydraulic pressure source;a merging directional control valve arranged on a downstream side of said first directional control valve for causing the pressure oil fed from said first hydraulic pressure source and the pressure oil fed from said second hydraulic pressure source through said second directional control valve to merge with each other;a second hydraulic actuator operable by the thus-merged pressure oil;second operating means for designating operation of said second directional control valve and operation of said merging directional control valve;a by-pass circuit connecting an upstream side of said first directional control valve and an oil-feeding side of said merging directional control valve with each other;an auxiliary selector valve arranged in said by-pass circuit for being operated by a signal from said second operating means; anddetection means for detecting an operated quantity of said second operating means and control means for being inputted with the signal from said detection means and outputting to said auxiliary selector valve a control signal responding to the thus-inputted signal.
