Tough MULE popular choice for dairy farmers
Kawasaki’s MULE PRO-DX has been
designed specifically for work
applications, using Kawasaki’s 25
years of experience in the UK side x
side market along with the feedback
from the customers with centuries of
experience…
he recently launched PRO-DX
is the choice for many dairy
farmers throughout the country
– like Julie Watson from Rising
Sun Farm in Derbyshire, who
bought a MULE from Platts
Harris. Looking at the below features, it’s easy
to see why the machine has become a vital part
of their challenging daily routine.
The Pro-DX boasts the largest flat cargo bed
in its class, which features gas-assisted tilting
and can be loaded from three sides, couple
with a good load capacity makes the PRO-DX
the perfect tool for carrying feed in the winter
months and the Electric Power Steering helps
maneuverability in small spaces, like sheds.
With 18kW (24PS) of power and a towing
capacity of 907kg, the vehicle is equipped for a
variety of functions and needs.
Fuel capacity is 30 litres - which means a lot
can be done before the need to refuel - and
being diesel powered means onsite fuel
compatibility for ease of refuelling.
For those early mornings - and late nights -
bright headlamps are complemented by
auxiliary LED lamps.
Independent suspension and 265mm of
ground clearance puts the operator at a good
vantage point and allows for smooth operation
when checking cows. The electronically
‘selectable’ 2WD/4WD and dual-mode rear
differential system allow for easy changing
between drive systems to suit the changing
terrain and applications.
The steel front bumper on the front of the
MULE comes in handy as a bull guard and is
T
ideally suited to guiding cattle to sheds for
milking.
A number of accessories and parts are
available to tailor the MULE to any specific
need or personal preference. Accessories
include winches, cabins, heaters, windshield,
underseat storage bins and hitch balls.
Kawasaki Motors UK, Simon Riches, said:
“Since it’s launch 25 years ago, the MULE has
become iconic and the vehicle of choice for
many. It’s known as a robust model, handy for
the tough day of a dairy farmer. The recently
launched PRO-DX is the culmination of all
those years of experience - and it shows. It’s
packed with features to make it the perfect
companion. Head to your local dealer to chat
through the whole range and to find out the
parts and accessories available to personalise
them for your needs.”
