1. A work machine comprising:
a track structure;
a swing structure swingably attached onto the track structure;
a work device attached to the swing structure;

a regulator that controls capacity of the hydraulic pump;
an actuator that drives the work device;
a swing motor that drives the swing structure;
an actuator directional control valve that controls flow of a hydraulic fluid supplied from the hydraulic pump to the actuator;
a swing directional control valve that controls flow of the hydraulic fluid supplied from the hydraulic pump to the swing motor;
operation devices to make an instruction of operation of the actuator and the swing motor; and
a controller that controls the regulator, the actuator directional control valve, and the swing directional control valve according to an input amount of the operation devices, wherein
the work machine includes
