The Poulan Pro PB2042YT garden tractor mower is part of Poulan’s Pro range of garden tractors. This mower gets its power from a Briggs and Stratton engine that powers the blades and wheels with 20hp. Unfortunately this engine is not CARB compliant so if you are from California you will not be able to purchase this machine. There are other CARB compliant Pro models like the Poulan Pro PB22H46YT, Poulan Pro PB23H48YT, and Poulan Pro PB26H54YT lawn tractors. The fuel tank of the PB 2042 YT has a maximum capacity of 9. 5 liters of gasoline.
The Poulan Pro PB2042YT controls its speed via a 6-speed gearbox. This means that when you want to speed up or slow down, you will have to change gear. The cutting deck on this Poulan Pro mower has a 42-inch cutting width, but its overall width is about 10 inches greater than this thanks to the plastic discharge chute on the side. Controlling this lawn tractor is a breeze thanks to the ergonomic steering wheel and large 18-inch diameter rear wheels.
The seat of the Poulan Pro PB2042YT has a high back to offer great support when you have to use it for extended periods. You will notice a number of small plastic anti-scalping wheels attached to the edge of the clipper deck. The purpose of these wheels is to prevent the blades from “scraping” the ground (scaring the ground) when traveling over particularly uneven ground. In other words, they force the mower deck to follow the contours of the ground when the mower deck is set at a low cutting height. Be sure to leave your thoughts on the Poulan Pro 42″ mower below.
