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. |
