QCT46 specifications

The Poulan QCT46 is a durable and efficient riding mower designed for homeowners seeking a reliable solution for maintaining their lawns. Known for its robust construction and user-friendly features, this mower is ideal for those who have medium to large-sized yards.

One of the primary features of the QCT46 is its powerful engine. Equipped with a 19.5-horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine, this mower offers ample power to tackle tough grass and uneven terrains. The engine is designed for easy starting and reliable operation, ensuring that users can quickly get to work without unnecessary delays.

The QCT46 features a 46-inch steel cutting deck, which is optimized for a wide cutting path. This size allows for efficient mowing, reducing the number of passes required to cover the entire yard. The cutting deck also comes with adjustable cutting heights, typically ranging from 1.5 to 4 inches. This versatility allows users to customize their mowing experience based on grass conditions and personal preferences.

Another significant aspect of the Poulan QCT46 is its ease of use. The mower features a comfortable high-back seat designed for extended use, providing ample support during longer mowing sessions.

Moreover, the pedal-operated transmission allows for smooth speed adjustments, making it easy to navigate around obstacles.

The QCT46 also incorporates some advanced technologies to enhance the mowing experience. The mower comes equipped with a dual-blade system, which ensures a clean and even cut. Additionally, the integrated mulching capability allows users to finely chop grass clippings and return them back to the lawn, providing natural fertilization.

Safety features are also a priority. The Poulan QCT46 includes a safety switch that prevents operation when the operator is not in the seat, as well as easy-to-access controls for the mowing deck and engine.

With its combination of power, efficiency, and user-friendly design, the Poulan QCT46 is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a reliable riding mower to keep their lawns in pristine condition.
