2011 Kawasaki Mule 600When it comes to great tools, a “just the basics” approach is often your best bet. So it is with Kawasaki’s two-wheel-drive Mule™ 600, a utility vehicle so affordable, so durable and so capable you’ll wonder how you ever got along without one. Whether it’s wandering through the local woods with a picnic basket in the bed, working an inner-city construction job, or hauling tools, supplies and two adults to a job site on the other side of the ranch, the Mule 600 is up to the job. Even better, the Mule 600 is easily transportable, fitting nicely in the bed of a full-sized pickup.

The Mule 600’s wide-ranging usefulness isn’t hard to recognize thanks to its strong and reliable single-cylinder engine, easy-to-use continuously variable transmission (CVT), spacious cab, handsome, curved body panel styling, dual-mode rear differential, comfy-riding independent front suspension, strong, steel-tube frame and powerful 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.

2011 Kawasaki Mule 600The 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 Kawasaki dealers include an enclosed cab, snow plow, winch, and soft or hard tops.
