60 ATV FEATURE OCT/NOV 2018 • farmers-mart.co.uk KAWASAKI LAUNCH MULE PRO-MX SINCE the introduction of the MULE Pro DX and DXT, Kawasaki has looked to continually grow the range of MULE products. These have become the utility vehicles of choice for many professionals from farmers to gamekeepers, able to handle a wide variety of work and jobs. The MULE line up has recently been improved with the MULE Pro MX, an exciting model for the Kawasaki MULE series. The PRO-MX offers the ideal bal- ance between compact and full size UTVs. With conveniently small dimensions (2,795 mm long x 1,525 mm wide x 2,005 mm wheelbase with a turning circle of just 4.2m), the carrying and towing capacity does not suffer at 317kg and 680kg respectively. These small dimen- sions are maintained thanks to minimised bodywork overhang, also helping to reduce the chance of knocking or scraping a bumper when driving off road. Beefy 25’’ tyres on 12’’ rims provide incred- ible off-road traction and help to ensure ample ground clearance to protect the MULE PRO-MX. This single-cylinder 700cc petrol powered MULE is perfectly positioned between the Mule SX and Mule Pro DX, giving customers even greater choice to find the perfect vehicle for their needs. The punchy engine makes the MULE MX-PRO not just a great work machine, but also a joyful weekend ride thanks to the supe- rior torque, resulting in a fun and easy to drive machine. Front and rear disc brakes ensure strong, reliable stopping power, further augmented by en- gine braking. Kawasaki’s hydraulic disc system offers predictable performance, matching the pres- sure applied to the brake pedal. BUILT STRONG TO WORK HARD The new Kawasaki MULE PRO-MX is the ideal midsize partner for both work and outdoor pursuits. Powered by a single-cylinder 700cc engine which benefits from smooth transmission and ‘Shinari’ design chassis. This rugged machine offers power, comfort, manoeuvrability and Kawasaki reliability. For more information or to find your local dealer visit www.kawasaki.co.uk As on the flagship MULE mod- els, the dashboard is designed to mirror the design and feel of a car and puts all controls within easy reach of the driver. A multi-function display features prominently in the dash and will display a variety of information such as driving mode, speed, fuel, odometer, seatbelt warning, parking indicator lamp and check engine light. With features previously only found on full-size machines such as power steering, front and rear disc break, independent front and rear suspension and a tilt ad- justable steering wheel, the PRO- MX is both well equipped and comfortable. The power steering is monitored and adjusted via the ECU, taking vehicle speed and torque readings in to account to determine the amount of steering assistance required. Its size, style, price and ability make the MULE PRO MX perfect for commercial use, such as farming, but also for pleasure and sport applications.
