I purchases a new Kawasaki 4010 mule at the end of 2012. It only has 240 hrs on it. I liked all the things that came on mule, power steering, brakes on all 4, 4 wheel drive, hi/low tranny.
Would I buy it again, knowing it cost me $175 just to change the oil in engine, and both axles? Knowing dealer wanted $200 to check the valves, which was recommended after the first 50 hrs. Dealer didn't do. I did it myself in 30 minutes.
The thing has been great on gas. About a gallon every 2 hrs.
Now would I buy it again of buy the cheaper 610 mule? I may go with the 610 single cylinder, carburetor instead of the 2 cylinder water cooled fuel injected. Why? Because the 4010 is above the pay grade of the people at the dealer. They just want to hang parts and charge $90/hr. The EFI is bare bones, no O2 sensor. Many are having the same issues I'm having with throttle body systems, not just limited to Kawasaki.
I love my mule, but hate the EFI is acting up, doesn't want to idle right. I even bought a shop manual from Kawasaki and have been doing a lot of reading.
Parts are out of this world. Usually dealer wants to install new fuel pump, over $900+ labor. TPS is over $150.
So if you get one, stay away from the one I got with all the bells and whistles. Find a dealer who has people in shop that have experience, not kids.

I am 20 and my father and I are the proud owner of a 1954 Allis Chalmers WD-45. When I was 18, I dated a girl in the next county over. Her family are tobacco farmers. It was a cold Thanksgiving evening, and we were going up to her Grandparents house. As we passed one of their barns, I noticed something orange in the corner of my eye in this old shed. It was pretty dark and I asked what it was
