Product description
The yardstick of rugged, off-road utility ability.
One of the first compact class utility vehicles to provide a driver with selectable four-wheel drive, the Kawasaki Mule™ 610 4x4 expands upon the foundation of the Mule™ 600 utility vehicle. It is a truly versatile, go-anywhere workerwhether in the back of a full-size pickup truck or utilizing its rugged 4x4 off-road capabilityable to haul people and equipment to almost any worksite. It offers an incredible bang for the buck at a lower price than many ATVs.
At the heart of the Mule 610 4x4 is a single-cylinder engine coupled to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The model also features a dual-mode rear differential, independent front suspension, swing-frame rear suspension and sealed hydraulic drum brakes.
A spacious cab, curved body panels and a large-diameter steel tube frame structurethat meets ROPS requirementspresent a clean, modern look, with automotive-type controls and the gear selector that are within easy reach on the Mule 610 4x4 dashboard. Comfort features include two large cup holders, a passenger-side glove box and grab handle, and more storage space located beneath the hood.
The Mule 610 4x4 utilizes a durable air-cooled, single-cylinder 401cc four-stroke engine with a cooling fan to help maintain an ideal operating temperature. For 2009, the flap in the rear left tire housing was widened slightly to minimize mud entering the engine area. Equally important, the sturdy engine can be started in any gear, provided the brakes are applied, and starting is easy thanks to an enrichening system that partially opens the throttle during starting.
The Mule 610 4x4 utility vehicle transfers its power through the CVT, which features durable materials and a long-lasting drive belt to best deliver the engines power and get it out of a slippery situation. Another enticing aspect of the Mule 610 4x4 is the selectable four-wheel drive that makes this vehicle virtually unstoppable thanks to the high and low range forward and reverse gears. A dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive, lockable dual-mode rear differential and a limited-slip front differential expand its traction abilities in adverse terrain.
The Mule 610 4x4 rides on MacPherson strut front suspension, while rear suspension duties are handled by a unit swing-axle. Triple-sealed hydraulic drum brakes at all four wheels provide ample stopping power, and large 24-inch tires provide improved off-road handling. A plastic front differential/axle guard and steel rear differential guard are standard, helping to protect important powertrain components.
Increasing its work versatility more are the bright 35w headlights and the 400-pound capacity tilting cargo bed, which features tailgate latches that are easy to fasten quickly and securely. The Mule 610 4x4 can tow up to 1,100 pounds with an optional Kawasaki draw bar. Popular accessories include an enclosed cab, snow plow, winch, and soft or hard tops. These and many other Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.
