PP21H42 specifications

The Poulan PP21H42 is a powerful and versatile riding lawn mower that is designed to make your lawn care tasks easy and efficient. With its robust features and advanced technology, this mower is well-suited for both residential and small commercial use.

One of the standout characteristics of the Poulan PP21H42 is its 42-inch cutting deck. This size is ideal for maneuvering around obstacles such as trees and flower beds while still allowing for efficient cutting in larger areas. The cutting deck is made from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and longevity even in the toughest mowing conditions.

Powering the Poulan PP21H42 is a reliable Briggs & Stratton engine, known for its efficiency and performance. This engine delivers ample horsepower to tackle thick grass and uneven terrain. The included automatic transmission allows for smooth operation, enabling the operator to easily adjust speed without having to stop and shift gears manually.
