PR827ES specifications

The Poulan PR827ES is a powerful and versatile snow blower designed for homeowners who need an efficient solution to tackle winter's toughest challenges. With its robust features and innovative technologies, the PR827ES stands out as a reliable machine for clearing snow from driveways, sidewalks, and other areas.

One of the main features of the Poulan PR827ES is its 27-inch clearing width. This wide clearing path allows users to tackle large areas quickly, making snow removal less time-consuming. Paired with the 21-inch intake height, the PR827ES is capable of handling heavy and deep snow with ease, ensuring that you can clear even the most challenging accumulations.

Equipped with a powerful 247cc engine, the PR827ES delivers the performance needed to cut through packed snow and ice. The engine features an electric start, which provides users with the convenience of starting the machine with the push of a button, eliminating the hassle of manual starting in cold weather conditions.

The PR827ES incorporates a two-stage snow removal system. This system includes an auger that collects the snow and a impeller that throws it out of the chute. This combination ensures efficient snow clearing and allows the user to direct the snow up to 40 feet away, providing flexibility in managing where the snow is thrown.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Poulan PR827ES is its adjustable chute, allowing users to easily change the direction of the discharged snow from the operator's position. This feature is complemented by the remote deflector, which lets users adjust the height of the snow discharge without having to leave the driver's seat.

The snow blower features heavy-duty wheels that provide excellent traction on slippery surfaces, making it easier to maneuver through uneven terrain and packed snow. The robust construction of the PR827ES ensures durability, while its ergonomic controls provide comfort and ease of use.

Additionally, the Poulan PR827ES is designed with a foldable handle for convenient storage during off-seasons. This feature simplifies the process of storing the snow blower, making it a practical choice for homeowners with limited storage space.

In conclusion, the Poulan PR827ES snow blower combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for those looking to simplify their winter snow removal tasks. Its advanced technologies and robust design ensure that you can tackle any winter challenge with confidence.
