Transmission

Hydraulics & Lift

How capable is the hydraulic system?
The X6 uses a closed-centre, load-sensing hydraulic system with a variable displacement pump delivering 110 l/min. This gives you efficient, responsive flow for your implements, along with better fuel economy and lower engine noise.
