Hydraulic drive with rapid stroke and load stroke

A hydraulic drive, comprising:

• a differential cylinder, including:
• a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber;
• and
• a differential piston that separates the first pressure chamber from the second pressure chamber;
• a first hydraulic pump, including:
• a pump intake and a pump outlet;
• a directional control valve having a first switching position and a second switching position;
• a high pressure tank;
• and
• an additional hydraulic cylinder, including:
• an additional pressure chamber hydraulically connected with said pump intake and with said high pressure tank;
• and
• an additional piston limiting the additional pressure chamber, said differential piston being movably coupled with said additional piston, wherein said first pressure chamber is hydraulically connected with said pump outlet, and further wherein in the first switching position of said directional control valve said first pressure chamber is hydraulically connected with said second pressure chamber, and in the second switching position of said directional control valve said second pressure chamber is not hydraulically connected with said first pressure chamber.
