Off-Road Utility with Selectable 4WD
Off-Road Utility with Selectable 4WD - In addition to being a dependable compact utility vehicle, the Mule™ 610 4x4 also offers an extra boost of functionality thanks to selectable four-wheel drive. It includes all the handy and easy-to-use features of the Mule 600, so the 610 4x4 represents a great value – it is a truly versatile and durable utility vehicle. And because it easily fits into the bed of a full-sized pickup truck, the Mule 610 4x4 is easy to transport to remote job sites.
2013 Kawasaki Mule 610 4x4 Review
The Mule 610 4x4 starts off on the right foot with its dependable single-cylinder four-stroke engine and continuously variable transmission (CVT). The large-diameter steel tube frame is mated to an independent front suspension and a swing-axle rear suspension. True to its practical nature, there is plenty of user-friendly hardware, including automotive-type controls, a gear selector within easy reach on the dashboard, two large cup holders and a passenger-side glove box and grab handle. More storage space is located beneath the hinged front hood.
Powered by a durable air-cooled, single-cylinder 401cc four-stroke engine that maintains its cool with the help of an efficient cooling fan, the Mule 610 4x4 can keep working even in the toughest conditions. An enrichening system that partially opens the throttle while starting makes for easy ignition. It can also be started in forward or reverse gear, provided the brake is applied.
Owners will surely appreciate the knowledge that the Mule 610 4x4 comes equipped with an efficient and durable CVT along with a long-lasting drive belt coupled with a dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive to best deliver the engine’s power and get it out of slippery situations. Perhaps the most useful aspect of the Mule 610 4x4 is the selectable four-wheel drive system that makes this vehicle virtually unstoppable thanks to the high- and low-range forward and reverse gears. A lockable dual-mode rear differential and a limited-slip front differential expand its traction abilities in adverse terrain.
The Mule 610 4x4 rides on a 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, steel rear differential guard and rear wheel mud flaps help deflect debris and mud that might otherwise damage or clog powertrain components.
Bright 35-watt headlights mean the job can start before sunrise or continue after sunset. Increasing its work versatility is the 400-pound-capacity tilting cargo bed that features secure, easy to fasten tailgate latches. The Mule 610 4x4 can tow up to 1,100 pounds with an optional Kawasaki trailer hitch installed. Popular accessories include an enclosed cab, snow plow, winch and soft or hard tops. These and many other Genuine Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.
Compact, comfortable, classy and fits in the back of a full-size pickup truck. The Mule 610 4x4 is a true go-anywhere worker thanks to its rugged 4-wheel drive and proven off-road capability. At a price lower than many ATVs, the Mule 610 4x4 offers an incredible bangfor-the-buck.
- Fully independent suspension, great for handling uneven terrain. Independent MacPherson strut-type front suspension allows each wheel to track over uneven ground for maximum traction with light steering effort.
- First vehicle in its class to offer selectable 2WD/4WD. Belt driven automatic transmission with a dual-range transfer case (High-Low) gives the 610 4x4 excellent off-road riding capability.
- High torque engine ideal for a variety of utility and leisure applications.
- Limited slip differential provides great traction with low steering effort.
- Stylish front hood flips open to reveal 48 L sealed storage compartment.
