I bought a 4010 4X4 in 2016, it does everything I need it to. The Trans Mules are good transport vehicles, particularly on farms. They still offer the 4010 Mule trans 4x4 in 2024 line up.

Kawasaki Mule 4010’s are fantastic machines. Bulletproof yard trucks.

My cousins have a 2012 2 seater, tough as nails around the ranch, so we bought the 23 camo, love it, Thanks for posting this video 🇺🇸👍👊

Great video! We’re trying to get a new mule! And this video was perfect. Also when the first clip of you talking in the gun room popped up it was a shock! Lol I’ll follow just because of that. 😂 solid guns behind you for sure. I have my own gun room and have been thinking of doing some vids. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks again

I wish Kawasaki would do something better to improve the engine crank case venting into the throttle body. Gums up the sensors over time. Kawasaki gave me a upgrade vent box and throttle body but the problem came back within 2 years

Great honest review. Was very surprised to see this video pop up! I follow your channel for your other content but actually work as an engineer at Kawasaki in Lincoln, Nebraska where these (and almost all of Kawasaki's 4 wheel recreational and utility vehicles) are made. I hope this machine treats you well and look forward to follow up review videos. And as a side bar comment, Kawasaki does offer a hydraulic actuator accessory to dump the bed when full of material (firewood in your case) haha.

Great. Thank you for that info! Ill have to look into that. I just wanted to try something different and really enjoyed filming this.

Great info! Helped me to make a more informed decision.

Thank you for the information Me and my wife and friend are buying a 4010 MULE and splitting the cost for my wife’s farm. We test drove this and enjoy the comfortable ride compared to other and we liked the price. We are getting the crew cab as well. Thanks again for the video.

Thanks so much! We’re looking to buy now and this answered many questions!

Love the review!

Really enjoyed this video! I've been looking around for another utv for farm work. It looks like it would work well. We have a Honda big red and a Polaris razor. We bought the razor used, it was priced right, but it's made solely for play. It's uncomfortable to get in and out of a lot. The box is too small and too shallow to haul anything that isn't strapped down. If it gets dusty at all where you are at, you eat a ton of dirt if you have a windshield because of how the air drafts around the sides. If you get one that goes fast, get a model that is fully sealed from the outside, with A/C, or you will want to wear dirtbike helmets and goggles to protect you from all the dust. If you are looking for something just to buzz around and ride just for fun, I think the razor would work well for that.

Thanks for the review! They make an after market windshield that has a lower hinged Windshield that flips up on the bottom for front compartment access, Cheers!

I bought the 2023 4010 4x4 EPS Mule for my 40 acre farm. I think it's one of the best SxSs on the market for serious/hard use. I also like that it's more of a tool than a toy, won't feel as bad beating it up.

So how’s the update?? Really interested in the mules and hoping for a follow up video soon!!

Are your brakes really bad? Just got a 2024 4010 Trans and the brakes are basically useless. Do they burn in/improve over time or need adjustment? Thanks!

Great video!👍🏻

2019 now at over 2,000 hours and no coil problems, but I ordered and keep a replacement on hand based on other reviews.

I have a 2018 4010 SE. it’s been good overall but I need to take the throttle body apart and clean it. The emissions control recirculates the crankcase breather through the throttle body. I disconnected and now vent to atmosphere. This is my opinion was a failure by the engineers designing the emission control. I now wish I had opted for the diesel.

If you don't know what you are doing, when cleaning the throttle body, you can do some costly damage to the butterfly valves. I didn't buy a Mule to work.on it, but to work with it.

This routing changed in newer models that followed yours.

This is a real UTV. Most of them these days are just show ponies meant to look racey... Dumb.

good review but you talk too fast

Kawasaki makes junk. I have a Mule 4010 and it will not idle. It has engine issues and you have to take it back to the dealer annually to have the throttle body cleaned. This works for 2 or 3 months then it's back to stalling. The thing that pisses me off is they knew they had this problem when they sold it to me. That is General Motors culture.

Your dealer sucks if that’s the case. This is one of the most dependable utvs. I’ve had them all for government work. We have fleets of all brands and the mule 4010 are hard to kill. Not the fastest or ride the best but run forever. None of them like ethanol fuel, especially if you don’t run them daily. Dealers will tell you they will take ethanol fuel don’t listen to them. Ive replaced fuel pumps on a dozen of them and the filters are always yellow or brown from water from ethanol. Once the pumps drop below 50ish psi idle stops. Harbor freight sells a fuel injection test kit for $35 with multiple fittings to test all kinds of stuff. When my dealer told me they thought that was the problem they wanted $800 to replace a pump, I bought the kit to confirm their diagnosis. It was correct, so I bought the aftermarket kit from all balls and put it in in less than 30 minutes and no more problems after 3 years so far.

What year model is yours? It looks like the crankcase venting was changed beginning with 2019. My 2019 is at over 2,000 hours and not ever any running problems. Only thing was a relay for the electro-hydraulic bed lift that failed and cost about $5 to replace.

The extending bed is awesome!
