The key to all this functional flexibility is the Trans4x4’s convertible design, as it only takes a moment to go from two-passenger, long-bed, cargo-hauler configuration to four-person, short-bed mode. Plus there’s the peace of mind that comes with a diesel engine, a design renowned for its long-haul durability and reliability. This powerful and torquey three-cylinder engine teams up with selectab le four-wheel drive, electric power steering (EPS) system, a fully automatic transmission and locking rear differential to make the handy Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel an outstanding choice for practically every utility vehicle role. Producing 38.3 lb.-ft. of torque 2. 800 rpm, this 953cc engine has enough low-end pulling power to tackle the heaviest workloads.This diesel engine is matched to the Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS), a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that features a high and low range, reverse, and the ability to 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’ dur ability 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 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 con ditions 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 forwardreverse, highlow-range gear lever and the four-wheel drive selector all within ea sy 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 and rugged bodywork, this four-wheel drive utility vehicle is a natural in tough work environments. Its body panels are manufactured from durable, color-molded plastic that helps hide minor scuffs and scratches. The extendable cab is surrounded by the large-diameter steel t ube frame structure.The front hood can be opened with the pull of a dash-mounted knob and allows access to a deep storage space 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 also boasts 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, s ealed drum brakes designed to resist contamination from water, mud and other debris.In addition to its stellar payload capacity, the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel 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. These and many other Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.   Key Features: At a glance Renowned diesel performance, reliability and economy Two or four seats with revolutionary transformable design Fully automatic transmission with selectable two or four-wheel drive Modern styling and low operating costs Electric power steering system (EPS)Four-passenger, Off-road, Four-wheel Drive Utility Vehicle with Transformable Cargo Bed Two rows of seats easily accommodate up to four persons Rear seat can be folded down and the cargo bed expanded to carry larger payload 1. 100 pounds with two passengers, 400 pounds with four passengers Retractab le lap beltsEngine Liquid-cooled, three-cylinder diesel engine produces substantial torque 38.3 lb-ft 2. 800 rpm and exceptional fuel economy Perfect for commercial job sites where diesel fuel is readily available Exhaust pipe routing allows easy hydraulic lift kit installation Overhead valve design maximizes efficiency Cast iron block and head help ensure extreme durabilityEnvironmentally Friendly Emissions Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gases to the intake tract to be burned in the engine Muffler has a U.S. Click photos to enlarge.They make great desktop images. 2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans 44 Diesel 2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans 44 Diesel 2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans 44 Diesel 2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans 44 Diesel 2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans 44 Diesel The Max-Function, Max-Torque, Max-Durability Utility VehicleThis one’s a no-brainer: If you’re looking for the most functional, most useful and most durable utility vehicle on the market, look no further than the 2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel.The Trans4x4 truly does it all, from people hauler to cargo hauler to everyday workhorse.
