PK19H42LT specifications

The Poulan PK19H42LT is a versatile and powerful lawn tractor designed to make lawn care efficient and enjoyable. This model excels in performance, incorporating a range of features that cater to both residential and semi-professional users. Its robust 19 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine is not only reliable but also efficient, ensuring that it can handle even the toughest mowing tasks with ease.

One of the key characteristics of the PK19H42LT is its 42-inch cutting deck, which allows for a wide cutting path to cover larger areas in shorter time frames. This deck is made of durable materials, capable of withstanding the rigors of regular use. The cutting height can be easily adjusted to five different positions, enabling users to achieve their desired grass length for a variety of conditions.

The tractor is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, which provides a smooth and seamless driving experience. This feature gives users the ability to alter their speed without the need for manual gear shifting, enhancing overall control and maneuverability while navigating through gardens and tight spaces.

Another notable feature is the ergonomically designed steering wheel and comfortable seat, which contribute to a pleasant driving experience, even during extended periods of mowing. The design ensures that users remain comfortable, helping to reduce fatigue and allowing for more efficient lawn care sessions.

For added convenience, the PK19H42LT includes a pedal-operated deck lift system, making it easy to raise and lower the cutting deck. This makes switching between cutting heights or transitioning into storage or transportation a simple task.

Moreover, the mower's easy-to-access controls and dashboard ensure that users can operate features without difficulty. The mower is also equipped with a front bumper, providing additional protection against potential obstacles during use.

In addition to mowing, this versatile tractor can be fitted with various attachments, such as baggers, carts, and snow blades, which enhance its functionality throughout the year.

Overall, the Poulan PK19H42LT is a well-rounded lawn tractor that delivers power, versatility, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a reliable tool for maintaining their lawns.
