Any updates on the performance or any issues. I thought about getting the lawn tractor as well.

I have no issues works great just finished creating my lawn

The 42" 0turn is listed at 51.96" wide and the 42" tractor is listed at 52" wide.

Page 4 of the Use and Care manual specifically states NOT to use a hose to rinse the machine off and to never use it in the rain. I use my 190 mph leaf blower to remove dust and clippings from my Ryobi RM480 mower after use.

It’s max weight to tow is 500 lbs.

All of Ryobi's riders state a 15 degree max. incline in the manuals and never to traverse a hill across the face of the slope and to mow only up and down the slope. They have plenty power, but it's a traction and safety issue.

The next step for me would be a call to Ryobi and open a ticket for warranty support.

I think 250 ibs

I just bought the 42” tractor. It’s pretty awesome. Did you get mounting brackets for your charger? I see in your garage you mounted it on your wall.

The 56 inch zero turn is currently $5000 with 4 80v and 4 40v batteries. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes, the tractor cuts in reverse.

I don't think there is 12ah 80v batteries

Maybe use 2 units 48v30ah in GC2 size will the best solution, there is no tray modifications and no extra components needed, any interests?

The only 12 ahr. lithium battery packs Ryobi has are the 40 volt units at $400 each. They will fit in the 40 volt ports in the 0turn mower, which the new tractor does not have.

@@katherinedai5911 Ryobi 80 volt, 10 ahr. battery is 9"x4"x10". CG2 battery case is 10 3/8"x7 1/16"x9 3/8". Don't see any fitment there.

Both have brakes

@@livefreeandtoolon Is it just an emergency brake, or operational like a car? Questioning if the electric mowers just stop when you release the gas. Hope I'm explaining my question clearly. Thanks!!!

@@senortreatumright8935 They slow down as you release pressure on the pedal, but after you stop if will start to roll so that’s when the parking brake comes in to play……Im speaking from experience from mine and just assuming it’s the same with the tractor! 👌🏽😁

I purchased the tractor, and the batteries are good.

When you register it all after purchase the batteries all have a 5 year warranty anyway......

​@@mattjames8683just the 80 volt batteries get a 5-year warranty, the 40 volt batteries are 3 year

I cant speak for this battery specifically, but lithium ion batteries are usually good for 300-500 charge cycles before they'll degrade to about 80% of their original capacity. Lot of stuff influences that, so you'd have to check to see what best practices are for charging and definitely you'll want to bring them inside for the winter etc but if a fully-charged Ryobi mower can run for 2 hours (their site says 2.5 but let's hedge that a bit), you could theoretically expect the battery pack that comes with the mower to get you anywhere from 600-1,000 hours. The TRUTH is that it depends on so many factors, including the quality of the batteries Ryobi uses. What I shared above is based on degradation statistics of lithium ion batteries, but a battery can also outright fail, too. One thing to keep in mind about batteries is they get better and cheaper over time, so someone telling you a horror story about a battery powered mower they bought in 2022 would be completely irrelevant when looking at a mower today. When Ryobi first came out with these electric mowers in 2022, they were actually using lead acid batteries which are cheaper but MUCH worse from a performance and longevity perspective. I've been slowly converting all my tools and small lawn equipment to battery over the last several years. Every new piece of equipment I buy tends to be more reliable than the last one.

Do you have the version with lead acid batteries? If so, there's a KZfaqr that upgraded the batteries easily enough.

​Yup, in some way the older models originally with lead acid batteries are better because you can replace them with whatever you want. You aren't stuck within the Ryobi's ecosystem of batteries.

Na the iDrive works great and I prefer it!

@@mattjames8683 looks like it lays Bannas for lines and we can/t have lines that are not razor straight... not to mention the horrible alignment and over lap when turning around by the looks of it 13:20

@@gamersplaygroundliquidm3th526 Well I actually own the mower and don't have any of those issues.

Why?

My Ryobi RM480e is 16x less expensive to run than my neighbor's ICE mowers of the same size. That's after 58 months of ownership. I'd say that's rather competitive.

Yesterday, I mowed for 90 minutes and it cost $0.19 in electricity to recharge the batteries. Neighbors V-Twin 600-700 CC ICE mowers would have burned over a gallon of $3.24/gal. 87E10 gas.

Neighbor behind me has a Toro Timecutter 42" ($3,400 new) and the neighbor next door has a Gravely 34" 0turn ($7,995 new). We all have the same size lots. They both burn a gallon of gas an hour ($3.24/gal. yesterday) and require periodic maintenance. My Ryobi 38" rider ($2,500 new) costs $0.13 per hour to run and requires no periodic maintenance. I sorta think that's pretty competitive.
