Equipped with a powerful Briggs & Stratton® twin cylinder 20 HP engine with ReadyStart® auto-choke starting system that powers up easily, with no choke or priming necessary, the Poulan Pro PP20VA46 riding mower is one of our most powerful and easy-to-use mowers. The pedal-operated Fast CVT automatic transmission means there’s no need to clutch or stop to change speed or direction. Capable of reaching top speeds of 8 mph, it operates a lot like an automobile – just push the pedal and go. The 46″ 13-gauge reinforced steel deck and cast iron front axle provide exceptional durability, stability, and long life. The mow-in-reverse feature keeps blades engaged for continuous mowing while shifting between forward and reverse directions. With a spring-assisted deck lift with six cutting height positions, and a super-tight 6″ turning radius that’s perfect for maneuvering around challenging terrain and obstacles like trees, shrubs, and flower beds, this riding mower is ideal for yards up to 2 acres with flat, hilly, or uneven terrain. Anti-scalp deck wheels reduce the risk of scalping your lawn when mowing uneven terrain, and large 20″ rear tires with Turf Saver tread won’t harm your lawn, and provide excellent traction and a comfortable ride. Other convenient features include headlights and built-in cup holder.
