Kawasaki Mule 600 2WD Compact Utility Vehicle

 

The two-wheel-drive Kawasaki Mule™ 600 utility vehicle lends itself perfectly to farm, ranch or industrial work, as well as outdoor recreation. Plus, it can be transported in the back of a full-size pickup truck.

The Mule 600 features a single-cylinder engine matched to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and features a dual-mode rear differential, independent front suspension, unit swing-axle rear suspension and hydraulic brakes.

The spacious cab features curved body panels and a large-diameter steel tube frame to give it a clean, modern look, while automotive-type controls and the gear selector are within easy reach on the dashboard. Luxury features include two large cup holders, a passenger-side glove box, passenger-side grab handle and storage space located beneath the hood.

For many utility vehicle owners, the engine is the most enticing feature of the Mule 600. The air-cooled, single-cylinder four-stroke engine displaces 401cc, accelerates with authority, and it includes a cooling fan to help maintain an ideal operating temperature. Equally important, the engine starts easily due to an enrichening system that partially opens the throttle during starting, thereby eliminating the need to apply the throttle. It also features a 25 mph maximum speed governor.

The Mule 600 transfers its power through a continuously variable transmission, which features durable materials in the converter and a long-lasting drive belt. Plus, the sturdy transmission can be started in forward or reverse gear, provided the brakes are applied.

The Mule 600 utilizes dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive and features a dual-mode differential that can be locked to maximize traction on adverse terrain.

The Mule 600
rides on MacPherson strut front suspension, while rear suspension duties are handled by the unit swing-axle rear suspension. Hydraulic drum brakes at all four wheels provide ample stopping power, and large 22-inch tires provide improved off-road handling.

To light the way in darkness, the Mule 600 features the same 35w gourd-style headlights as the Kawasaki Brute Force™ 750 4x4i all-terrain vehicle.

Kawasaki engineers know that hauling and towing are the two most common tasks for any Mule utility vehicle, so they designed the Mule 600 to carry 400 pounds in its tilting cargo bed. It also features tailgate latches that are easy to fasten quickly and securely. Plus, it can tow up to 1,100 pounds with an optional towing hitch.
