Mobile work machine and method for operating a machine of this type

A method of operating a mobile work machine, wherein, in the method, via a control device,

• actuation of the mobile work machine is checked for a specific operating mode, the specific operating mode comprising an actuation sequence;
• detecting the specific operating mode;
• if such specific operating mode has been recognized, a desired speed of an engine is set in dependence on the recognized specific operating mode, with
• the specific operating mode having a fixed cyclic routine of the actuation sequence of a plurality of hydraulic elements of the mobile work machine.

A mobile work machine comprising:

• an engine for driving the mobile work machine;
• a hydraulic power generation unit coupled to the engine and adapted to convey a hydraulic volume in dependence on a speed of the engine;
• and
• a plurality of hydraulic elements actuable by the conveyed volume of the hydraulic power generation unit and associated with different functions of the mobile work machine, and
• a control device configured to recognize a specific operating mode of the mobile work machine;
• and
• if such a specific operating mode has been recognized, set a desired speed of the engine in dependence on the recognized specific operating mode, with the specific operating mode having a fixed cyclic routine of an actuation sequence of the plurality of hydraulic elements of the mobile work machine.
