Kawasaki Mule 3010 4X4 Diesel Utility Vehicle

 

DIESEL-POWER PROVIDES MAXIMUM TORQUE

Like the rest of the Mule™ line, the Mule 3010 4x4 Diesel features a bench seat, automatic transmission and tilting cargo bed, but this Mule features selectable four-wheel drive and the incredible torque of a proven diesel engine.

The Mule 3010 Diesel 4x4 utility vehicle features the rugged grille, headlights and rounded fenders of its 3000-series siblings. Body panels of the cab are made of durable, color-infused plastic to help hide scuffing, and the front hood of the Mule 3010 Diesel can be lifted with the touch of a button to reveal a large storage space, which also has convenient D-rings to secure cargo. Located beneath the front grille are winch-ready tabs for easy winch mounting, and a passenger-side grab rail is mounted on the cab frame. Plus, two lever latches make opening and closing the tailgate easy.

The Mule 3010 Diesel 4x4 powerplant is a liquid-cooled, 953cc three-cylinder diesel engine that produces high torque at low engine rpm. Air for the engine is drawn through an intake located at the top of the cab frame and passes through a cyclone-type air cleaner.

The diesel engine is matched to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that features high and low range, plus reverse. This dependable CVT is combined with dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive to transmit power to a dual-mode rear differential that can be locked to maximize traction, or unlocked to minimize ground disturbance when making tight turns. The operator can also select four-wheel drive for extra pulling power in muddy conditions.

Controls on the Mule 3010 Diesel 4x4 are also easy to operate. The high/low-range, forward/reverse shift lever and the lever for selecting four-wheel drive operation are placed within easy reach on the dash. The coolant temperature warning light is easy to see, and a push-button control activates the headlights. Other standard features include an hour meter, fuel gauge and horn.

The chassis of the Mule 3010 Diesel 4x4 is a ladder-type frame that rides on a DeDion rear leaf-spring suspension designed to carry heavy loads yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo bed is empty. MacPherson struts handle front suspension duties, while rack-and-pinion steering is light and maneuverable over rough terrain. Four hydraulically operated, self-adjusting drum brakes that are sealed to protect from water, mud and other debris provide stopping power, and 23-inch tires provide a comfortable ride and maximum traction over a variety of surfaces.

The Mule 3010 Diesel 4x4 utility vehicle can carry up to 1,100 pounds in its steel cargo bed and can tow up to 1,200 pounds. Other standard features include a 5.3-gallon fuel tank, spin-on oil filter and a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor in its muffler.
