Poulan Pro PB30
The Poulan Pro PB30 ride on lawn mower is a rear engine rider mower. This makes it very different from the tractor mowers that Poulan manufacture like the Poulan PO19542LT and the Poulan PO12530LT tractor lawn mowers. The PB 30 is pretty much the smallest ride on mower that you can get. The variable speed, Briggs and Stratton engine that powers it only has an output of just 11.5 hp. This engine powers both the mower deck and the wheels. Interestingly, the wheels on this machine are not even that big. The rear wheels measure just 16 inches in diameter, while the front wheels measure 13 inches in diameter.
The mower deck on the Poulan Pro PB30 lawn mower has a cutting width of 30 inches (which is very obvious from the name). Unlike practically all ride on and tractor lawn mowers which have mowing decks with multiple blades, the mower deck on the PB 30 has just one single blade. The total width of the mower deck is a good bit higher than 30 inches as the plastic discharge chute is located on the side of the mower deck.
As there is no differential lock on the Poulan Pro PB30, it has a very large minimum turning radius of 30 inches which means that it is not that agile in tight spots unfortunately. However it is very light, with a shipping weight of just 167.8 kg (370 lbs). The front axle on the PB 30 is constructed from stamped steel which makes it very durable and enables it to handily withstand most knocks and bumps during operation.

Very very, bad.. Apparently, the company new this design was not workable because they now sell it with a different geared transmission.
I’m going to replace it with a corded electric push mower.
Although we’ve mowed 1/4 acre with it for 2.0 seasons it has less than 60 total hours on it. I has always been well maintained (2 oil changes) and stored in a dry shed. I’ve cleaned the drive plate three times and spayed it and the belt with sticky belt dressing to keep it moving. The motor and chassis look and work like new. Yesterday, it refuses to move under it’s own power at all, something in the clutch is broken. I looked on the internet and the working parts of the clutch are no longer sold. SOO.. now it is a pretty expensive piece of junk that cannot be repaired. NEVER again will I buy anything that says Poulan or Husqvarna (the parent company) It is a total ripoff company.
SUCKS!
Junk I will never buy anything that has your company name again…..
It works to cut grass. I do not recommend it for lawns that are small or not perfectly flat as there is no suspension.
It sucks!!!!
its a neat looking model, but the transmission slipps and causes it to not have much power and the way the wiring is set up and ran isn’t very good.
When i first got it, it seemed a little whimpy, as far as the transmission goes. It slipped a lot. and it slipps real bad now and can’t hardly go. The manufacture recomenation for the transmission slipping is the wipe off the friction disc. Which i do frinqently and that helps a little bit, sometimes it don’t improve at all, and now i have a wearing sound when the blade is engaged. which is what it did just before the belt broke last time.
