Poulan Pro PB22H54YT riding mower
Date Published: 5/30/08
The Poulan Pro PB22H54YT riding mower is a reliable machine that will get the job done with relative ease and speed. It has a 22-hp Briggs & Stratton Intek V-Twin engine that is located at the front of the machine. The transmission is automatic and uses a foot pedal to easily change gears and switch between forward and reverse. The smooth ride that this transmission provides is definitely a selling point for this mower.
The PB22H54YT has a 54-inch deck that covers a tremendous amount of ground, yet has a tight turning radius of 16 inches. It has a side discharge that evenly shoots cuttings away from the machine. The blades are controlled with the touch of a button, so the user can easily engage the blades, which is definitely a nice feature. We also love the 4-gallon fuel tank, which is great if you need to mow a large yard. If you have a smaller lawn, however, you should probably seek out a smaller, less expensive model, as the PB22H54YT is probably much more mower than you need. This bulky machine is also a bit of a pain to store, so make sure that you've got enough space to house it while it is not in use.
The PB22H54YT is one of the most comfortable riding mowers that we have tested. The deluxe steering wheel makes the ride more enjoyable and aids in cutting down the vibrations in the steering wheel. There is a cup holder on the right side, and we also appreciate the handy hour meter that counts the time we were on the mower. This machine is easy to maneuver and is also easy to mount and dismount. The controls are easy to reach and work quite well. Overall, this is a very good machine when used expressly for mowing purposes.
The Poulan Pro PB22H54YT riding mower is ideal for large yards and is geared toward consumers who are willing to pay for excellent comfort and power.
