The Cub Cadet CC500 push lawn mower is powered by a Cub Cadet engine that has a displacement of just 0.139 liters. This engine is started using a pull cord recoil system in conjunction with a AutoChoke SureStart system. Unfortunately this engine powering the CC 500 only powers the blade in the mower deck, not the wheels, so please remember that you will need to push it.

The Cub Cadet CC500 uses a Cub Cadet‘s CycloCut system for mowing you lawn. The mower deck on the CC 500 has a cutting width of 19 inches using it’s single blade. The grass clippings that it cuts are usually collected in a bagger attached to the rear of the machine. This bagger has a 1.9 liter bushel capacity. If you don’t want to collect the clippings then you can instead discharge them onto the grass and pick them up later or let them rot. Leaving them on the grass is not the best idea though because they can make future grass growth very patchy. A better idea is to use the mulching system where the grass clipping are very thoroughly cut up which helps them to quickly rot, returning their nutrients to the soil.

Most people find that the Cub Cadet CC500 is great for cutting the grass in gardens up to 0.5 acres in size. However if it’s a bigger garden you are cutting then your best option is to instead use a self propelled lawn mower. Similar mowers to the CC 500 include the Cub Cadet CC500EL and the Cub Cadet CC500BAT push lawn mowers. If you own one of these mowers then please feel free to leave a review below detailing what you like and don’t like about it, as well as any recommendations that you would give to someone who was thinking about purchasing this machine.
