The Ryobi RY40HPLM02K2 adds the CROSS CUT two-blade system to the 21 in. 40V HP self-propelled mower platform, stacking two blades that work together to shred clippings more finely and reduce clumping. Ryobi claims the CROSS CUT system bags 75% more efficiently than a single-blade design. Two 6.0 Ah 40V HP batteries deliver up to 75 minutes of runtime. The brushless motor is rated at 170cc gas equivalent — higher than the single-blade RY40HPLM01K2 — and the rear-wheel variable-speed drive is paired with SMART TREK adaptive speed control. The Cut Command Center display monitors battery life and motor load. Cutting height adjusts across 10 positions from 1.5 in. to 4 in. and the mower supports bag, mulch, and side-discharge modes.
What is the CROSS CUT blade system?
CROSS CUT is Ryobi's dual-blade stacking system in which two blades operate simultaneously in the same deck. The overlapping blade action shreds clippings more finely than a single blade, which reduces clumping and improves bagging efficiency. Ryobi claims a 75% improvement in bagging capacity vs. a single-blade design.
How long does the RY40HPLM02K2 run on a charge?
With both 6.0 Ah 40V HP batteries installed, Ryobi rates up to 75 minutes of runtime. The dual-blade system draws slightly more power than the single-blade RY40HPLM01K2, which accounts for the difference from that model's 80-minute rating.
What is the gas equivalent for this mower?
The RY40HPLM02K2 is rated at 170cc gas equivalent, reflecting the higher power demand of the dual-blade CROSS CUT system. This is higher than the 163cc rating of the single-blade RY40HPLM01K2.
Does this mower have SMART TREK?
Yes. The RY40HPLM02K2 includes SMART TREK adaptive self-propulsion, which automatically adjusts rear-wheel drive speed to your walking pace. It also features the Cut Command Center display for runtime monitoring and turbo mode access.
How does the RY40HPLM02K2 compare to the AWD model RY40HPLM03K2?
Both use the CROSS CUT multi-blade system and ship with two 6.0 Ah batteries. The RY40HPLM03K2 upgrades to all-wheel drive for better traction on hills and uneven terrain, and carries a 196cc gas equivalent vs. 170cc. The RY40HPLM02K2 is rear-wheel drive and is the better choice for relatively flat yards.
