SOIL PROCESSING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SOIL PROCESSING MACHINE

A soil processing machine, in particular a soil compactor, includes at least one drive roller and an electrohydraulic drive system for driving at least one drive roller. The drive system has a traction hydraulic circuit having at least one hydraulic motor and at least one hydraulic pump. The circuit includes a first line region between a first connection fitting of the at least one hydraulic pump and a first connection fitting of each hydraulic motor to drive the at least one drive roller in a first rotatable direction and a second line region between a second connection fitting of the at least one hydraulic pump and a second connection fitting of each hydraulic motor to drive the at least one drive roller in a second, opposite rotatable direction. A valve assembly is provided with each line region for selectively interrupting and releasing a fluid flow connection between the at least one hydraulic pump and at least one hydraulic motor.
