Ryobi Grows Its 80V OPE Lineup With Two New Lawn Tractors
Ryobi gave us a glimpse of its growing 80V lawn care lineup at Equip Expo in 2022, and now it’s expanding even more. Along with a 30-inch CrossCut self-propelled mower, there are two new Ryobi 80V Lawn Tractors joining the collection: a 42-inch model and a 46-inch model. What do they have to offer those with larger properties? Let’s find out.

When you’re done mowing or run out of juice, the 80V Hyper Charger gets you back up in under 2.5 hours.
