The cutting height can be easily adjusted to ensure that your lawn is maintained to the desired length, accommodating different grass types and seasonal growth patterns.

Its solid frame and robust components contribute to longevity, ensuring that it can handle the rigors of residential mowing. The machine is equipped with easy-access maintenance points, making it simple to perform routine checks and service.

Another significant feature of the PRK17H42STA is its capability to attach various accessories, including mulching kits and baggers.

Overall, the Poulan PRK17H42STA is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient riding mower.
