The SC500K In The Field
Product features
Built For The Long Haul
Rear-Wheel Drive, Dual-Lever Control
Rear-wheel drive with dual-lever drive control lets you engage the self-propel with either hand, so you can navigate uneven terrain and slopes without changing your grip.
21-In. Steel Deck, 3-in-1
The 21-in. steel deck handles the challenging areas of your yard and converts between bagging, side discharge and mulching with the integrated mulch plug.
Signature Cut™ Quality
Cub Cadet’s Signature Cut™ deck design pairs blade and airflow geometry for a cleaner, more even finish with fewer clumps and stragglers.
11-In. High Rear Wheels
11-in. high rear wheels with Zag tread roll easily over ruts, roots and tough terrain, while 8-in. front wheels keep the front end tracking straight.
6-Position Fingertip Height Adjust
Dual-lever, 6-position height adjustment makes it easy to move between 1.25 in. and 3.75 in. cutting heights without tools.
Deck Wash Port
Attach a garden hose to the wash port and rinse grass and debris off the underside of the deck in seconds — no tipping the mower over.
2.3-Bushel Dust-Blocking Bag
The 2.3-bushel rear bag collects clippings for easy clean-up or composting, with dust-blocking fabric that keeps debris out of the air.
Comfort Handle & Strong Warranty
An adjustable ergonomic V-point handle with overmolded bale keeps mowing comfortable, backed by a 3-year limited residential warranty and 5-year limited engine warranty.

Questions answered
FAQ
What size yard is the SC500K built for?
The 21-inch steel deck and self-propelled rear-wheel drive are ideal for lawns up to about half an acre, including yards with slopes, tight beds and fence lines a riding mower can’t reach.
Is it self-propelled or push?
Self-propelled. Rear-wheel drive with dual-lever control means either hand can engage the drive. It is light enough to push manually if you prefer.
Can it bag, mulch and side discharge?
Yes — it’s a 3-in-1 deck. Use the 2.3-bushel rear bag, drop in the integrated mulch plug, or fit the side-discharge chute for tall grass.
Does it have an electric start?
No. The Kohler® Command Pro CV173 uses a recoil pull start, which owners report typically fires on the first or second pull.
How do I clean the deck?
Attach a garden hose to the deck wash port and run the mower briefly — the water rinses clippings off the underside without tipping the machine.
What’s the warranty?
3-year limited residential warranty, 5-year limited engine warranty and 1-year limited commercial warranty.
