To climb hills and conquer tough terrain, rely on Mule 610 4-wheel-drive utility vehicle (shown) or its 2-wheel-drive counterpart, Mule 600. Each vehicle boasts compact size (about 107 ins. long, 52 ins. wide, and 70 ins. high). Small enough to fit in the bed of a full-sized pickup truck. Offers 400-lb. bed capacity, 926-lb. load capacity, and 1,100-lb. towing capacity (with optional towing hitch). Speed governor lets vehicle travel up to 25 m.p.h. Runs on air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine, which ensures easy starting by opening throttle automatically. Transmission offers high- and low-range forward gears, along with reverse mode, while allowing driver to start vehicle in any gear (provided brakes are applied). Dual-mode differential can be locked to enhance traction on adverse terrain. Large, 24-in.-tires provide smooth, off-road handling. Also has curved body panels, automotive-type controls on dashboard, and gourd-style headlights for top illumination on dark evenings. Luxury features include 2 large cup holders, passenger-side glove box and grab handle, and storage space beneath hood. Body comes in a choice of colors. Accessories range from windshield and hard top for cab to headlight guards or under guards for vehicle.
