2010 KAWASAKI MULE™ 610 4X4 XC

Some Mules Like It Rough!

The Kawasaki Mule 610 4×4 XC is a true go-anywhere worker, offering selectable four-wheel drive, large 26” Maxxis Bighorn II radial tires and proven MULE versatility. Like all 600 series Mule utility vehicles, the 610 4×4 XC fits in the back of a full-size pickup truck and is capable of hauling people and equipment to almost any worksite. New wheels and tires provide the XC with additional ground clearance and a wider track than other models.  These factors make it an excellent choice for traversing rough terrain or transporting materials to remote destinations.

MULE 610 4×4 XC Exclusives

  • New, larger wheels at all four corners provide additional track width
  • 26-inch Maxxis Bighorn II radial tires offer improved ground clearance and superior off-road performance


Traditional MULE 610 4×4 Strengths

  • Rugged and compact 4×4 off-road utility vehicle can be easily transported in the back of a full-size pickup truck
  • Can tow up to 1,100 lbs. with optional Kawasaki trailer hitch installed
  • Lightweight, durable and quiet 401cc four-stroke engine
  • Can be started in gear by stepping on the brake pedal
  • Gear-driven engine balancer dramatically reduces vibration, minimizes noise and wear
  • Dual-element air cleaner provides good flow but doesn’t clog in dusty conditions
  • Positive crankcase ventilation system reduces vehicle emissions by recycling blow-by gasses into the intake tract so they can be burned by the engine
  • Muffler features a USFS-approved spark arrestor
  • California models have a check valve on the fuel tank to charcoal canister connector hose to prevent gasoline from entering the canister when operating on inclines or over rough terrain
  • Simple and lightweight Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is fully automatic and keeps engine speed in the most efficient range for any selected vehicle speed, load, or terrain
  • Selectable 2- and 4-wheel drive modes provide efficient operation over a wide variety of terrain
  • CVT belt deflection can easily be adjusted by changing shim thickness of the adjuster bolt located on the outside of the driven converter
  • Transmission 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 offers locked mode for maximum traction in difficult conditions, while unlocked mode decreases turning radius and minimizes ground disturbance – great for use on grass.
  • Rack-and-pinion steering helps to keep steering light and accurate, which makes maneuvering in tight working quarters a snap
  • MacPherson Strut Independent Front Suspension offers a comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying capability and features a rugged single A-arm design that offers a tight turning radius for extra maneuverability
  • Unique rear suspension design places engine and rear wheels on a sub-frame with a mid-point pivot. This layout isolates vibration and allows the MULE utility vehicle to handle heavy loads, yet still provides a comfortable ride when the cargo bed is empty
  • Self-Adjusting, hydraulic drum brakes at all four wheels provide ample stopping power
  • Front grille includes space for mounting a 3000-pound capacity winch
  • Compact, lightweight and easy to transport to the job, the MULE easily fits in the bed of a full-sized pickup
  • Bench seat with two seat belts is spacious and comfortable for two adults
  • Durable plastic body panels resist dents, and color is molded in for long-lasting good looks
  • Meets Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) requirements for wheeled tractors under SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5, and also meets FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement
  • Large storage tub under the hood with four D-rings to secure the load
  • Passenger side glove box
  • Cup holders located at each side of the front hood by the dash
  • Steel cargo bed can carry up to 400 pounds and tilts for quick unloading
  • Thick tailgate panel and secure latching tailgate locking pins reduce vibration and noise, and add durability
  • Automotive-style dash is designed for ease of use with easy reach controls
  • Standard instrumentation includes an hour meter, fuel gauge, oil temperature warning light
  • Powerful and attractive 35w headlights help light the trail after daylight fades
