[Effects of the Invention] According to the automatic attitude control system for construction equipment of the present invention, each support cylinder is adjusted in real time based on the difference between the water level at several locations around the construction equipment and the reference water tank at a position where the ground does not change. Since the expansion and contraction control is performed, even if the ground on which the construction machine is installed sinks or the posture of the machine changes, the construction machine can be maintained at the initially set height and posture. For this reason, when automation and robotization of construction equipment are performed, control values are calculated by a computer for a certain reference position and attitude of the construction equipment to control the support cylinder, and the construction equipment is returned to the initial setting state regardless of ground changes. It can be securely held.
