MULE Pro and Pro DXT
Farming Monthly takes a closer look at the two new MULE Pro machines from Kawasaki to help you decide which MULE is right for you …
W ith so many utility vehicles available, it can be hard to know where to turn for advice. Your local dealer is often the best place to start but it’ s useful to be armed with some information on what you want beforehand. Ask yourself a variety of questions, including:
• What will be the main usage?
• Are you limited to a certain weight?
• How many people do you need capacity for?
• What’ s your budget? Two new models to join the market last year were the MULE Pro-DX and Pro-DXT.
Designed primarily for work applications, the high-torque powerful 993 cm ³ four-stroke diesel engines delivery excellent performance and allow on-site fuel compatibility – something that comes in extremely handy.
Both models produce 18kW( 24PS) of power and 52Nm of torque and have a towing capacity of 907kg. Fuel capacity if 30 liters and bright headlights and complemented by auxiliary LED lamps. Now onto the differences …
The Pro-DXT has a Trans Cab meaning that it can be changed to maximize either cargo space or people-moving potential. It can be changed from two-person mode to four-person mode in just one minute – and importantly, by just
one person. When in two-person mode, the cargo bed capacity if 453kg and in four-person mode is 158kg.
The Pro-DX features a long, flat cargo bed – the largest in the MULE fleet – which can be loaded from three sides. It’ s the workhorse of choice for customers who need to haul lots of material as easily as possible. It has a dry weight of under 816kg which enables access to most weightrestricted area.
The Pro-DX has an RRP of £ 11,579 and the Pro-DXT is £ 12,779.
Simon Riches, Kawasaki UK Product Manager for ATV and MULE, said:“ The reaction to the new MULE models has been
fantastic – dealers have had a great year selling the product and is continuing into the start of 2017. The MULE Pro represents over 25 years of experience in the side x side market in the UK – the brand is synonymous with providing customers with the ultimate workhorse, the Pro-DX and DXT don’ t disappoint.”
