2012 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel Preview
Visit Kawasaki.com to see the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel
One of the side by side (SxS) work horses for people who work outdoors is the 2012 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel. Unlike other Mules that Kawasaki has released in the past this SxS mule offers an incredible amount of torque and seating that can be easily transformed so you can use this mule for anything.
Since the 1980’s the Kawasaki Mule has offered durability and productivity for everyday usage.
The Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel doesn’t disappoint.
Thanks to the powerful three cylinder engine, four-wheel drive and easy to use power steering system this mule which costs just $9,699 will be ready to get up and go for anything that you want to use it for.
The Kawasaki Mule’s 4010 Trans4x4 is capable of producing almost 40 feet of torque power at 2,800 RPM. Thanks to its 953cc engine the Mule 4010 has the power to pull and handle the heaviest of workloads anytime.
Like other mules that Kawasaki has released to the world in the past this one has the ability to be transformed from a two person rig that will haul plenty of gear up to 1,100 pounds, to a vehicle that’s capable of carrying four people plus 400 pounds of weight. Just be sure to keep safety in mind when hauling people or cargo as the extra weight can really be felt in these small-ish SxS.
The Mule 4010 Trans4x4 comes with 23” inch tires that have stiffer sidewalls than other mules that Kawasaki has manufactured in the past, this means that it will offer a better ride for its owner and the wheels will be protected when it’s being driven in rough terrain.
The Kawasaki Mule 4010 has an advanced diesel engine that’s liquid cooled and has three cylinder and this guarantees that it will always produce plenty of power or torque without hurting the environment.
Forward thinking Kawasaki designed the crankcase with a ventilation system that will send this vehicles gases that are blown by to its intake tract where it will be burned by the engine instead of out into the environment.
Its muffler also has a spark arrestor that was approved by the United States Forrest Service. The benefit of this is that you can take the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 out into terrain where there is dry brush without having to worry about possible starting a fire.
With its new Cyclone air cleaner whoever buys the Mule 4010 will have confidence that their mule will always run smoothly even during the dirtiest of conditions. When it comes time to clean the air filter the Kawasaki 4010’s gauge will tell its owner when it needs to be changed or cleaned.
The Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans4x4 diesel should be considered the best and most versatile multi-purpose utility hauler around because its diesel engine comes with Kawasaki’s awesome power drive system and transmission that’s continuously variable. It’s owner will be able to easily have high and low range power any time they need it.
Unlike similar multi-purpose vehicles on the market today this one will give its owner the ability to always keep the engine at the most optimal RPM for the load that they are carrying or the terrain they are climbing.
The mule 4010 Trans4x4 will always have a lot of power for pulling heavy loads and fast acceleration when needed. This mule has big torque converters that use its CVT belt to full capacity which translates into full strength when its owner needs it.
There’s nothing worse than getting into a mule or ATV only to realize that the battery is dead. That likely won’t happen with this mule because it comes with a heavy duty alternator and battery that will insure a higher output and insure that it starts up quickly every time its owner needs it.
