2010 Kawasaki Mule 600
A comfortable fit everywhere from farms and ranches to downtown industrial environments, the success of Kawasaki’s two-wheel-drive Mule™ 600 utility vehicle is no secret. Getting two people, tools and supplies to a job site, or letting them enjoy the great outdoors—at a price less than many ATVs—is just smart economics. The versatility of Kawasaki’s entry-level utility model is enhanced by its transportability; it’s an easy fit in the bed of a full-size pickup truck.

Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS)
– Simple and lightweight CVT is fully automatic and keeps engine speed in most efficient range for any vehicle speed, load, or terrain
– An open-sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life.
– Belt deflection can easily be adjusted by changing shim thickness of the adjuster bolt located on the outside of the driven converter
– Cooling air flows in from a vent in the cab frame through a special air filter, which keeps out water and dust for increased belt life
– Long wearing double cog CVT belt
Dual-Mode Differential
– Locked mode for maximum traction in difficult conditions
– Unlocked mode decreases turning radius and minimizes ground disturbance, great for use on grass.
