Ryobi 80v HP Tractor Thick Grass Test 

Mower worked great for two weeks. I could get about 90 minutes run time on a full charge. Until one of the battery packs failed. I've been approved by Ryobi for a warranty replacement as of August 1st and was told 10-14 days. It is now September 1st. I've been getting nothing but the run around. I've had to contact customer service going on five times now. The first time I was told it would arrive by the end of the week. Didn't happen... The next time I was apologized to and was told it would be shipped out first thing in the morning and I would get an email with the tracking number. Didn't happen... The next time I was told the associate was out to lunch and was dropping the battery to be mailed out. Didn't happen... The next time I was told the associate was out of the office for the day and would be back tomorrow. The next time (today, Friday) I was told the associate was out of the office and would be back Tuesday... Mower works great, but apparently Ryobi doesn't support their products so I would highly recommend avoiding purchasing a Ryobi 80v mower.

Brent - great videos - thanks so much! My biggest issue with both this new Ryboi tractor and the Ryobi zero-turns, is coping with hills. Very interested in knowing how the two Ryobi mowers you have compare, what the 'rated' hill capabilities are, and your thoughts on the subject. Honestly - could be a whole video just on this topic!

Brent, thanks for sharing this info! Still waiting for the bagger before purchasing. If the bottom gets clogged, seems like the bagger would also. :^(

Great Review! Thank you very Much 😎

Looks like it handled the slopes well but wanted to get your feedback if possible. Great content, thank you!!

I just got one of these for $800 which is wild

I took off the brace bar on the bottom of the chute and I have not had any clogging problems since. Two bolts not hard. Not actually sure why the brace bar is there but since it had two bolts to take it off I assumed it was Ok to remove it.

Show how well it works with a bagging system

Can't wait for the Ego tractor!!

Still deciding between the 42" ZTR and this one (42" lawn tractor). Question, will the tractor run with the deck removed. Often times I just need it to tow things around the yard for other work.

Hi! Thank you for the review. Do you know if it’s possible to install some kind of universal bagging system on it? Or is it necessary to wait for Ryobi to release its own?

Since the blades are attached directly to the motors what happens if you hit a stump or a large rock? Does it destroy the motor or is there something to prevent that?

Man I want one of these so bad but Home Depot's delivery service (USp@ck) lost my order. I was told by a rep ro becareful ordering as the same thing may happen. Seems USP@ck is the Bermuda triangle for freight. So frustrating. Your videos are so good and informative. If only I could get one.

Thanks for all the reviews. Mine was just delivered today. What did you put on there for a hitch?

This toy is 5 grand. For 8 grand I bought a Kubota bx2350 diesel sub compact tractor with 300 hours on it 5 years ago. I put 300 hours on it and only have done fluids and filters. The electric toy won't keep up. How long can you mow grass like that before the battery is dead?

You should put some finisha xtrem blades on that beast. Then it will b a savage.

I wonder if/when they are going to come out with 80v tiller, post hole auger?

Have you found a snow plow that will work for this model RYRM8060?

What is the average life span for the batteries and are the expensive to replace

how well does this thing handle hills? I've got some steep grades I need to be able to drive up and down to get to where I need to mow.

Just got this brand new for $799

bagger aside....be nice if Ryobi would introduce the Lithium IRON batteries for these.

Is this coming to Australia?
