The Poulan Pro Snow Blower – Which One is Right For You?

Poulan Pro – Still The Best?

Poulan has been a trusted name in yard and lawn maintenance for many years. Probably most famous for their chainsaw line, the same craftsmanship and durability can also be found in the Poulan Pro snow blower line of heavy-duty snow throwers. Homeowners in areas which receive heavy snowfall can seriously benefit from this rugged line of easy to assemble and easy to operate snow throwing machines. Not to be mistaken with the smaller electric models used to clear a light dusting on your carport driveway, these machines are made for clearing tons of snow and sludge up to 23 inches deep, and clearing it fast. Let’s take a look at some of the different models offered, and the features they have, so you can pick out just the right model for your situation.

The Poulan Pro snow blower line uses their model numbers to tell you a lot about each particular machine. For example, the PR827ES is a unit from the 800 series that offers a 27 inch wide clearing path with electric start (ES). Not everything is revealed in the model number, but it gives you a quick reference and a good place to start to understand some of the more important features offered by each unit. Similarly, the PR291E30 snow thrower employs a 291cc engine, offers an electric start, and can clear up to a 30 inch swath in each pass. But the model numbers can only tell you so much. One thing you should know is that this commercial grade line of snow throwing equipment is gas powered. Electric snow blowers just can’t handle the bigger jobs.

When you get right down to it, there are really four main designations you have to choose from. Certainly, each and every unit may offer some small extra or accessory that you desire, but make sure you understand the following four terms before you make your decision. The Poulan Pro snow blower line of snow throwing machines will have either an electric or manual start, will use a single stage or two stage engine of varying power (cubic centimeter designations), will offer power steering or no steering assistance, and will vary in the width and height of snow that they can clear.

These designations are important for you to pick just the right tool for the job that fits your situation perfectly. Remember that single stage engines are cheaper, but can’t handle near the amount of snow and sludge that a two-stage engine can. The difference between manual start or electric start, and power steering or no power steering is self-explanatory. The larger the cubic centimeter (cc) designation of an engine, the more powerful it is. And the width and the height of the snow intake lets you know just how much snow you can clear with each pass. Keep these four features in mind, and you’ll choose just the right Poulan snow throwing product for your situation.
