PR185H42STE specifications

The Poulan PR185H42STE is a versatile riding mower designed to make lawn care effortless for homeowners. With a powerful engine and user-friendly features, this mower stands out as a reliable choice for managing larger lawns and properties.

One of the key features of the PR185H42STE is its robust 18.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine. This engine provides the necessary power to tackle thick grass and uneven terrain with ease. The mower's engine is designed for easy starting and smooth operation, ensuring that users can get to work quickly without the frustration of difficult startups.

The PR185H42STE comes equipped with a 42-inch cutting deck, which enables users to cover more ground in less time. This mid-sized deck is ideal for navigating through tight spaces while still being large enough to handle larger areas efficiently. The cutting height can be easily adjusted to suit different grass types and cutting preferences, offering versatility for varied mowing conditions.

Another standout feature of this mower is its hydrostatic transmission, which provides seamless speed changes without the need for gear shifting. This allows for a smoother ride and easier control when maneuvering around obstacles or adjusting speed on slopes. The steering wheel is designed for comfort, providing users with a pleasant experience during those longer mowing sessions.

The Poulan PR185H42STE also emphasizes user comfort and safety. With a padded seat and armrests, operators can enjoy a more relaxed mowing experience. Additionally, safety features such as an automatic blade stop when the operator leaves the seat ensure safety while maintaining productivity.

To enhance efficiency, the mower is equipped with a mulching option. This feature allows users to finely chop grass clippings and return them to the lawn, which can improve soil health and promote a lush, green appearance. The mower's bagging capability also adds to its versatility, making it easy to collect clippings for disposal or composting.

Finally, consumer-friendly aspects like easy access to routine maintenance points ensure that upkeep is simple and straightforward. The Poulan PR185H42STE combines power, convenience, and comfort, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable riding mower for their lawn care needs. Whether tackling routine maintenance or preparing for the growing season, this mower proves to be an indispensable gardening tool.
