Introduction
Easy to Use, Easy to Transport,
Easy to Like
The Mule™ 600 is a great tool for getting things done. Whether
your day calls for hauling tools around a construction site,
delivering needed supplies to far-flung parts of a farm, or just
enjoying some time out in the woods, the Mule can help make every
job just that much easier. With a price tag that makes it easy
on the wallet, the Mule offers great value. And with its compact
size, the Mule 600 fits easily into the bed of a full-sized pickup.
The Mule 600 is powered by a strong and dependable single-cylinder
engine. And the durable construction doesn't stop there: it also
features an easy-to-use continuously variable transmission, a
spacious cab, dual-mode rear differential, comfy-riding independent
front suspension, a strong, steel-tube frame and beefy hydraulic
brakes. User-friendly hardware abounds, and includes automotive-type
controls and a gear selector within easy reach on the dashboard,
two large cup holders, a passenger-side glove box and passenger
grab handle. Even more storage space is located beneath the Mule
600's hinged front hood.
The Mule 600's air-cooled, 401cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke
engine maintains ideal operating temperatures with help from
an efficient cooling fan. An enrichener that partially opens
the throttle during ignition allows easy engine starts. The Mule
600 can be started in forward or reverse gear, provided the brake
is applied, and it incorporates mud flaps by the rear tires to
minimize mud clogging the engine area.
Owners will also appreciate the knowledge that the Mule 600 comes
equipped with an efficient and durable CVT and a long-lasting
drive belt coupled with a dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive
system. The dual-mode differential can be locked to maximize
traction on slippery or adverse terrain.
The Mule 600 rides on a MacPherson strut suspension up front,
while a unit swing-axle handles rear suspension duties. Large
22-inch tires enhance ride quality, and serious stopping power
comes via sealed, hydraulic drum brakes on all four wheels.
Bright 35-watt headlights mean the job can start before sunrise
or continue after sunset. Increasing its work versatility
is a 400-pound-capable tilting cargo bed that features secure,
easy to fasten tailgate latches. The Mule 600 can tow up to 1,100
pounds with an optional Kawasaki trailer hitch installed. Other
popular Kawasaki accessories available through Arizona Kawasaki
include an enclosed cab, snow plow, winch, and soft or hard tops.
