    About the only thing that could make this mower any better, would be to make the handle height adjustable. I am 6'2", and my room mate is 5'7", so we have very different comfort levels.

      I wonder if newer ones have the handle that can be adjusted to 3 different positions, I have a late 2017 Troy-Bilt and 2021 Craftsman mower and there's three different holes for the handle bolts to go through to select the height, I've had several 2016 and older MTD made mowers I've had that the handle only had one position.

    This is fairly informative, however it is nowhere close to a review. Its a pretty good overview, Ill give you that. But to claim its a review, you kinda have to give your impressions about this mowers performance. Maybe compare it to a similar offering from a competitor.
    Thanks for the overview, because Im looking to buy this exact same mower. But I really want to know about its actual performance in a working scenario. Is this thing worth my 600 or so dollars? Will I be buying a new one in 3 years? Is maintenance (replacement parts) going to be an issue?

    I've been looking for a blade break with the bail, and the description had my hopes up, but the operation is/was that this mower is actually engine stop when letting go of the bail. Another facet is with the front wheel drive, it doesn't mow right up to the obstruction, as the blade is pretty far back. Is this a Briggs OHV?

    • @WJCTechyman
      @WJCTechyman 6 місяців тому

      PowerMore is Cub's and MTD's in-house designed engine. The funny thing is most of the PowerMore line is based off of Honda's GX line of commercial engines. Back 3 years ago, the only mower with a good blade brake clutch was anything Honda made with Roto-Stop.

    Came across you’re video investigating cubs new “INTELLIPOWER” engine featured on their new walk behind mowers when I noticed I own a similar mower as yours made by craftsman. The 4WD feature is exactly the same and to be honest I wasn’t impressed but the 196cc engine was sweet. I ended up selling mine to a neighbor. I think it’s funny how MTD for the most part manufacturers all these mowers and just rebrand them. Thanks for your time and great video.

      I understand wanting more info.. There is so many variables cutting grass. The grass in the south in sand cuts different than grass in the north in clay soil.. Cutting on banks and ditches would vary with the person using the mower. Providing the most info i can in a short time is what i try to do. Thanks for the feedback.

    Good review. I was thinking of purchasing one of these cub cadets for my mom. She can walk behind it but has a hard time pulling the handle to start it. The electric start is just the thing for her. I know it is pricey but it will help her tremendously.

    • @WJCTechyman
      @WJCTechyman 6 місяців тому

      I would have suggested a Honda due to the fact that none of the others has a charging system on the engine for the battery. They aren't bad in price either in comparison and some models you could get a blade brake and hydrostatic transmission for true variable speed operation. If you are in the States, it's a shame you can't get them anymore after all of the inventory is sold off.

    sideways, I been looking for a replacement for same price 547.00
    with shipping - your review is excellent review all features including
    4 wheel drive, for the same price I'm getting a better mower
    SC500 had 159 power backwheel drive SC700 196 power this
    has front, & backwheel drive or 4 wheel drive at the sametime
    Thank you for you review Its made better then my SC500
    Cub Cadet self propelled SC500 was discontuned I bet because
    the pivot front wheels stay sideways you have trouble pushing it
    straight. I been looking at Honda Toro they turn me off because of
    power they had & problems people had with them.
    From your video you helped me by explaining the features & I
    I purchased the SC700 on 09-16-2019 you helped me to purchase
    Cub Cadet again. after 1 week reviewing all self propelled mowers

    • @TractorTread

      I personally owned a rear wheel drive cub cadet self propelled mower with the caster wheels. The only thing I didn't like was adjusting the front casters. I never had issues with the pivoting wheels or tearing up my grass. My mower lasted 10 years. You can still get the SC500 with the caster wheels. You will probably like the SC700 more than your SC500 and I hope it gives you years of good service. Thank You for your comments.
