Abstract: A hydraulic control apparatus for a working machine in which a flow rate and a direction of pressure oil discharged from a hydraulic pump are controlled by a control valve to supply it to a swing motor, comprising: a bleed-off oil path for bleeding off a part of the pressure oil supplied to the swing motor, a cut valve provided on the bleed-off oil path to adjust a bleed-off amount, a controller for controlling the cut valve through a solenoid proportional valve, and pressure sensors for detecting an operating amount of a remote control valve for swing, characterized in that the controller sets the bleed-off amount according to the operating amount detected by the pressure sensors, controls an opening area of the cut valve on the basis of the bleed-off amount set, and suppresses the shock when sudden swinging operation takes place.
