Whether working hard on the construction site or tackling the trail, the reliable 2014 Mule™ 4010 4x4 is the Side x Side that makes work seem like play. Loaded with awesome features and four wheels to replace the hooves of old, it will help workers get their jobs done no matter the task. Besides the convenience of selectable four-wheel drive, this modern machine mounts a fully automatic transmission and reliable 617cc V-twin engine onto a heavy-duty chassis. Yesterday's pioneers would wish their pack animals were as easy to maneuver as this tough Mule, thanks to its electric power steering (EPS) and Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®).

• Electric power steering system (EPS)
• Extremely strong large-diameter steel Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) meets SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5 requirements for wheeled tractors, and also meets FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement
Liquid-Cooled V-twin Engine
• Industrial strength four-stroke, 617cc V-twin engine produces exceptional torque at low engine speeds
• Modern four-stroke design with overhead valves for efficient running and good fuel economy
• Large-capacity radiator and fan maintain consistent engine temperatures, even in hot climates
• Rubber engine mounts minimize vibration, noise and wear to maximize operation comfort and diminish fatigue
Digital Fuel Injection
• Computer-controlled Digital Fuel injection (DFI®) system automatically compensates for atmospheric pressure, air and engine temperature for easy, prompt engine starting under a variety of conditions
• Automatic fast idle speed control eliminates the need for a choke, allowing the operator to drive off immediately after a cold engine start
• Throttle body features a sub-throttle valve for optimum performance and drivability. The sub throttle is located behind the main throttle valve and is controlled by the ECU for smooth throttle response
• Automatic digital ignition system helps ensure smooth, efficient operation
• Maximum engine speed is controlled by the ECU, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor
• Offers easy engine operation and reduced maintenance requirements
Cab Frame Air Intake
• Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there is less dust, so the air filter stays cleaner longer
Environmentally Friendly Emissions
• DFI precision reduces fuel consumption and cuts exhaust emissions
• Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gases to the intake tract to be burned in the engine
• Muffler features a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS)
• Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high/low and reverse, and helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads or terrain
• The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
• An open-sided drive pulley runs cool for maximum belt life
• Offers adjustable belt deflection
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
• The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest
• The electric motor’s inertia significantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel caused by shocks to the wheels for a more comfortable and controlled ride
• Input from vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system’s motor
• No power steering pump means there is no power loss from the engine
• EPS only operates when the engine is running to keep from draining the battery
Four-Wheel Drive with 2-Speed Transfer Case
• Selectable four-wheel drive gives the operator traction options
• Shift to four-wheel drive and low range for maximum traction in adverse conditions, or select two-wheel drive and high range to cut gear wear and increase fuel economy
Dual Mode Differential
• Dual-mode rear differential can be locked for extra pulling power and maximum traction, or unlocked when traversing delicate terrain
Independent Strut-Type Front Suspension
• MacPherson strut long-travel front suspension provide a comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying capability
• Stiffer springs prevent bottoming and increase ground clearance DeDion Rear Suspension
• Overload-style leaf springs can handle heavy loads, yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo box is empty
• Semi-independent action
Four-Wheel, Self-Adjusting Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes
• Four wheel brakes are self-adjusting and feature extra sealing for protection against mud, dust and debris
• The brake drums have an added flange and seal to keep out mud and water
• Low maintenance and powerful
Wheels and Tires
• 23-inch tires with stiff sidewalls improve the ride and add ground clearance
• Rear wheel bearings use two rollers in one large bearing for added durability
• Wheel bearing seals on all four wheels have three lips for better protection
Front Hood with Storage Tub
• Deep under hood storage tub holds cargo out of sight
• Offers quick, easy access with a push-button latch
• Includes four D-rings for securing loads
Tilting Cargo Bed
• Steel cargo bed can carry up to 800 pounds and tilts for easy access to service and maintenance items
• Thick tailgate panel and secure latching tailgate locking pins reduce vibration and noise, and add durability
Rugged and Capable
• 2” receiver hitch allows towing of up to 1,200 pounds with optional Kawasaki draw bar
• Durable bodywork features modern styling inspired by heavy-duty trucks
• Strong tubular steel front guard improves durability and helps protect the nose from brush, trail debris and minor impacts
• Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) meets SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5 requirements for wheeled tractors, and also meets FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement
• Sturdy chassis includes winch-ready mounts to simplify winch installation
Simple Maintenance
• The oil dipstick and filler tube are accessed under the seat
• Cyclone-type engine air cleaner has meter to indicate when to replace the filter
• An automotive-style fuse box is convenient and uses blade-type fuses
Cab Features
