In a drive train for a working machine, in particular, a wheel loader, the driving speed is preselected via a driving pedal (11) and the working hydraulic system is actuated via a selector lever (8), whose signals are fed to an electronic control unit (10) which regulates a drive engine (1) and a clutch (2) arranged between the drive engine (1) and a pump impeller (3) of a hydrodynamic torque converter in such a manner that an auxiliary drive (6) for a pump (7) of the working hydraulic system is operated at a sufficient speed, while the preselected driving speed is not exceeded.
