The MULE 3010 Trans4x4 DIESEL also features a torque converter air filter that uses an efficient intake cooling fan to draw sufficient air into the CVT. Wear is reduced by cooling the converter with filtered air, courtesy of special air cleaner that uses an easily replaceable filter element.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The engine air cleaner is a cyclone-type Donaldson unit with a replaceable paper element. This design is effective and needs less frequent cleaning, even through repeated MULE utility vehicle use in extremely dusty off-road conditions. The MULE is equipped with a gauge that indicates when the filter should be changed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keeping the filter lasting longer—especially in the rugged conditions for which this Kawasaki was built—engine air and converter cooling air are drawn from the top of the cab frame, where there’s less dust. This makes for cleaner operating conditions, as well as a longer-lasting filter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This MULE also lists among its many attributes a dual-mode differential, limited slip front differential, two-speed transfer case for the four-wheel drive, rack and pinion steering, independent strut-type front suspension, DeDion rear suspension, and four-wheel, self-adjusting sealed hydraulic drum brakes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An improved ride—in conditions that oftentimes cry out for comfort—comes courtesy of the 23-inch tires with stiff sidewalls, improving both off-road travails and providing added ground clearance. The rear wheel bearings use two rollers in one large bearing, providing added durability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kawasaki takes pride in owner usability attached to all of its products, and this MULE is no exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The simple, easy to operate controls for the MULE 3010 Trans4x4 DIESEL are all dash-mounted. In addition to the shift mechanism, they include a horn and 12-volt DC outlet with 10-amp capacity, a speedometer, and hour meter. A parking brake and coolant temperature warning light are in plain view, and the MULE has a sealed glove box, plus an open dashboard storage area.
|
|
|
|

Winch mounts are standard on the frame of this all-purpose UV, and users will be able to find their way in all kinds of lighting conditions by using the 35-watt, cat-eye headlights that are activated by the push of a simple dash-mounted button.
