500 Mowers

A partner that does more than its fair share of work.

500 Tees & Surrounds Mowers



Featuring a bigger engine and fuel tank, improved hydraulics and reduced noise levels, the John Deere 500 lightweight triplex cylinder mower replaces the previous 400 model.

Engine

  • Suitable for both sports turf and commercial applications, it has a reliable, three cylinder 22hp Yanmar diesel engine giving high performance and low noise (82dBA).
  • Placing the engine at the rear provides high levels of operator comfort and visibility, with excellent service access, and gives customers an alternative to the John Deere 2653A utility mower, which features a front mounted engine design.

Cutting Units

  • There is a choice of five or seven blade cutting cylinders, giving an overall cutting width of 1.8m (72in).
  • The seven blade cutting cylinders for golf course maintenance feature floating heads and grooved front rollers for a finer finish.
  • Hydrostatic drive, power steering and an adjustable seat are standard, and the cutting units feature an improved hydraulic drive, which is automatically engaged or disengaged when lifting or lowering the cylinders.
  • Cutting height is adjustable from 8 to 55mm (1/3 in to just over 2in), and transport width is narrow at 1.5m (60in).

Wheel Motors & Brakes

  • Three wheel drive is optionally available if required through the use of additional hydraulic motors on the rear wheel.
  • Wheel motors and brakes are the same as fitted to the 2653A utility mower, providing commonality of parts across the two ranges.
