As homeowners increasingly seek sustainable alternatives to gas-powered equipment, Greenworks answers the call with its 80V CrossoverT Lawn Tractor (CRT 428). This latest evolution in the brand’s battery-powered lineup builds upon the success of its predecessor, the 60V CRT 426, delivering stronger performance and faster charging while maintaining the reliability that earned Greenworks its reputation. Designed for properties up to 2 acres, the CRT 428 combines a robust 80V brushless motor with smart features like remote diagnostics and dual cutting blades, offering a quieter, emission-free mowing experience without sacrificing power. With a 4-year warranty and competitive pricing, this model represents a compelling step forward in residential lawn care technology.
Enhanced Power and Efficiency for Residential Lawn Care
Greenworks continues to push the boundaries of battery-powered lawn equipment with its latest release, the 80V CrossoverT Lawn Tractor (CRT 428). Building on the success of its predecessor, the 60V CRT 426, this new model introduces higher voltage and faster charging while maintaining key features that made the original a strong contender in the residential mower market.
Performance and Key Features
Powered by an 80V brushless motor and six 5.0Ah batteries, the CRT 428 delivers performance comparable to a 24 HP gas engine, placing it in direct competition with traditional models like the John Deere S140. However, despite the increased voltage, the new model has a slightly lower maximum speed of 6 mph, compared to the CRT 426’s 8 mph.
The 42-inch cutting deck and adjustable cutting heights (1.5 to 4.5 inches) remain unchanged, making it suitable for properties up to 2 acres. Greenworks claims the upgraded battery system allows for a full charge 15 minutes faster than the previous model, ensuring extended runtime for larger lawns.
Additional features include
- Dual cutting blades for improved performance in dense or wet grass
- Cruise control for consistent mowing speed
- Towing capability for light hauling tasks
- Remote diagnostics and anti-theft monitoring via companion apps
Build Quality and Durability
The CRT 428 is constructed with 13-gauge steel, striking a balance between weight and durability. While not the heaviest-duty option available, the design prioritizes efficiency for well-maintained lawns free of debris. Users operating in rougher terrain may need to exercise caution to avoid deck damage.
Pricing and Warranty
Priced at $4,999, the Greenworks 80V CrossoverT comes with a 4-year tool and battery warranty, providing long-term reliability for homeowners investing in battery-powered lawn care.
With its blend of enhanced battery performance and familiar functionality, the CRT 428 positions itself as a compelling alternative to gas-powered tractors—especially for eco-conscious buyers seeking quieter, emission-free mowing.
