The Poulan PDGT26H48C is a versatile and robust lawn tractor designed for homeowners seeking efficiency and performance in lawn maintenance. With its powerful engine and durable construction, it stands out in the lawn care market, making it a reliable choice for mowing larger yards.

At the heart of the PDGT26H48C is a 26-horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency. This engine provides ample power for tackling tough mowing tasks, and the automatic transmission ensures smooth acceleration and easy handling. The responsive controls contribute to an enjoyable mowing experience, allowing users to maneuver around obstacles with ease.

One of the key features of the Poulan PDGT26H48C is its 48-inch cutting deck, which allows for wide cutting swath and faster mowing.

Additionally, the tractor is equipped with large, rugged wheels that provide excellent traction and stability on uneven terrain. The comfortable high-back seat ensures ease of use during longer mowing sessions, while the ergonomic design allows for reduced operator fatigue.
