Introduction
The multifunction utility vehicle
with the brawn to handle the workload
Add another check to the can-do list for the Kawasaki Mule™
4010 Trans4x4® Diesel. Now with Realtree® APG™ HD®
camouflage added to its rugged body panels, the Mule 4010 Trans4x4
Diesel expands its renowned flexibility into hunter-friendly
country. A do-everything kind of utility, the Trans4x4 Diesel
is able to switch between cargo hauler and people transporter
in just a few quick steps.
Hauling supplies to a remote hunt site is a cinch. Simply utilize
the increased cargo capacity of the Trans4x4's extended bed,
two-passenger mode-it's as easy as folding the rear bench seat
down and extending the cargo bed forward into the cab. Have a
four-person hunting party to transport? The Trans4x4 can be quickly
converted back to short bed, four-passenger mode by reversing
those same easy steps. Its powerful and torquey diesel engine,
selectable four-wheel drive, electric power steering (EPS) system,
fully-automatic transmission and locking rear differential make
the camouflaged Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel an outstanding choice
for practically every hunting role.
This versatility is coupled with a liquid-cooled, three cylinder
diesel engine, making the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel a strong
contender for the MVP spot on any job site. The diesel engine's
overhead valve design maximizes efficiency, while its cast iron
block and head help ensure durability. Producing 38.3 lb.-ft.
of torque @ 2,800 rpm, this 953cc engine has enough low-end pulling
power to tackle the heaviest workloads.
The diesel engine is matched to the Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive
System (KAPS). It's a continuously variable transmission (CVT)
that features a high and low range, reverse, and helps keep engine
rpm in the most efficient range for any selected vehicle speed,
load, or terrain. It yields a wide drive ratio spread for ample
pulling power and quick acceleration.
Large torque converters maximize belt engagement area for optimal
heat dissipation, strength and durability. Wear is reduced by
the use of a thick, strong drive belt and sheaves with high silicon-type
material. Tuned specifically to accommodate higher payloads,
the KAPS' durability is further aided by cooling the torque converter
with filtered air from a special air cleaner with an easily replaceable
element and an efficient fan to move sufficient cooling air through
the CVT. A high-flow cover also helps lower CVT temperatures
while still providing superb splash protection and resistance
to water intrusion.
This reliable system transmits power to a dual-mode locking rear
differential through a dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive.
The Trans4x4 Diesel also sports a limited slip front differential
and two-speed transfer case for the four-wheel drive system,
allowing the operator to engage four-wheel drive for extra traction
and pulling power in difficult conditions.
A cyclone-type Donaldson® air filter system with a replaceable
paper element supplies the engine with clean air. This efficient
design needs less frequent cleaning, even with repeated use in
extremely dusty off-road conditions. Helping the filter stay
clean and last longer-especially in the rugged conditions for
which this Kawasaki was built-is a design in which engine air
and converter cooling air are both drawn from the top of the
cab frame, where there's less dust.
The wheelbase of the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel may be 85.2 inches,
but it still offers a tight turning radius and excellent rough
terrain capabilities. Electric power steering (EPS) makes the
low-effort rack-and-pinion steering system even easier to turn.
The EPS reduces steering effort by up to 30 percent, and is a
significant boost at low speeds in four-wheel drive, using input
from vehicle speed and torque sensors to determine how much assistance
is provided by the system's electric motor. It also harnesses
the electric motor's inertia to dampen much of the bump steer
and kickback associated with front wheel impacts. The system
works immediately after the engine is started, but doesn't create
a power drain on the engine.
With the forward/reverse, high/low-range gear lever and the four-wheel
drive selector all within easy reach on the dash, drivers can
focus more attention on negotiating rough or fragile terrain.
The operator-friendly Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel dashboard also
features a digital hour meter, horn, speedometer, a 12-volt,
10-amp DC outlet and a push-button switch for the headlights.
A parking brake and coolant temperature warning light in plain
view, dual sealed glove boxes plus retractable rear seat belts
and a padded rear-passenger grab handle round out the cab features.
Maintenance chores are simplified with an air restrictor gauge
in the cab to indicate when the air filter needs to be cleaned
or replaced, and the fuse box and oil dipstick are conveniently
located underneath the seat for quick access.
With its modern rugged bodywork, this four-wheel drive utility
vehicle is a natural in tough work environments. Its body panels
are manufactured from a durable, color-molded plastic that helps
hide minor scuffs and scratches. The extendable cab is surrounded
by the large-diameter steel tube frame structure.
The front hood can be opened with the pull of a dash-mounted
knob and allows access to a deep storage space that's equipped
with convenient D-rings to help secure cargo. Additionally, two
levers make opening and closing the tailgate a secure and easy
process. The convenience factor on the Trans4x4 Diesel extends
beyond easy-access latches or controls; it can also boast owner-friendly
features like the winch-ready tabs located under the front grille,
which greatly simplify the winch-mounting process.
A smooth-riding MacPherson strut front suspension works in conjunction
with a heavy duty DeDion type leaf spring rear suspension system
to provide the Trans4x4 with a extended-bed 1,100 pound cargo
capacity, or a 400-pound cargo capacity when in four-passenger
mode. Large 23-inch low-pressure tires provide additional ride
comfort, great traction and help minimize impact over a variety
of terrain. Effective stopping power is provided by four hydraulically
operated, self-adjusting, sealed drum brakes designed to resist
contamination from water, mud and other debris.
In addition to its stellar payload capacity, the Mule 4010 Trans4x4
Diesel Realtree APG HD utility vehicle can tow up to 1,200 pounds
with an optional draw bar. Other popular accessories include
an enclosed cab, cab heater, snow plow, and soft or hard tops.
