So what can you do with a John Deere X500? Here are a few things we can think of right off the bat, but, considering the power and versatility of the X500 series, this list could go on and on:

Cut grass evenly and smoothly: The underside of the mower deck is complete with three spindles that are laid out to prevent any obstructions from lawn debris. A deck-leveling gauge on-board allows the operator to ensure that the mower is level side-to-side and properly adjusted front-to-rear for the best cutting performance.

  • Sharp blades of the mower deck ensure an even cut that doesn’t tear at the blades of grass.
  • The design of the deck underside evenly discharges grass clippings without building up and creating obstructions.

Navigate challenging terrain: If your yard sits on a slope or is made up of several hilly areas, it can be a grueling task to maneuver lawn equipment over it. The 4-wheel drive, adjustable mower deck, operator-powered traction pedals and precise and tight steering allow you to easily guide the X500 through the most difficult spaces of your yard.

  • Drive up and down slopes with constant control of speed and traction.
  • Make sharp turns around flower beds to cut grass without harming the garden.
  • Maneuver between rocks, trees, ponds and all types of landscaping features.

Hitch-up ground-engaging attachments: The steel frame of the John Deere X500 creates a heavy-duty exterior with the strength to support a number of Deere lawn and garden attachments.

  • Simplify garden tilling when you attach the 30-inch mechanical drive tiller.
  • By attaching any of the pull-type spreaders you will be able to seed in areas of your yard that have typically seemed out of reach.
  • When it’s time to aerate, you can attach the spike aerator and give every stretch of your lawn the chance to benefit from the aerating process.
