Abstract: In a work machine including an engine; a hydraulic pump; an actuator; an operating member that operates an actuator; an exhaust gas purifying device; a load application device that applies a load to an engine to raise the temperature of exhaust gas; and a control device, the load application device includes a load application valve that is provided in series between the hydraulic pump and the actuator and performs switching as to whether a hydraulic oil flow channel between the hydraulic pump and the actuator is brought into a communication state or a non-communication state in accordance with a control pressure, and if a load application request is input, the control device changes the control pressure exerted on the load application valve on the basis of the presence or absence of input of an operation signal of the operating member.
