With its robust engineering and user-friendly features, the PR1842STC stands out among its competitors, making it an ideal choice for maintaining larger yards with ease.

One of the keynote features of the PR1842STC is its 18.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine.

The mower’s automatic transmission allows for smooth operation, enabling users to easily adjust their speed without the hassle of shifting gears manually.

The PR1842STC boasts a 42-inch cutting deck, which strikes a perfect balance between maneuverability and cutting width.

The mower also incorporates a comfortable high-back seat, providing additional support for those longer mowing sessions, and an ergonomic steering wheel designed for ease of handling. An essential feature is the cutting height adjustment lever located conveniently near the operator's seat, allowing for quick changes on the fly.

One of the most notable technologies integrated into the PR1842STC is its easy-starting system, designed to ensure reliability on the first pull. Furthermore, the mower features a reliable mulching system, allowing users to finely chop grass clippings to enhance lawn health and minimize waste.

Safety is a priority for Poulan, and the PR1842STC includes several safety features. These include an automatic shut-off system that engages when the operator leaves the seat, ensuring that the mower stops safely to prevent accidents.

Overall, the Poulan PR1842STC is a well-rounded riding lawn mower that combines power, user-friendly design, and advanced features, making it an excellent investment for those serious about lawn maintenance. Whether tackling tall grass or navigating tricky terrain, the PR1842STC delivers robust performance for a beautifully manicured lawn.
