As part of Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) magazine's UTV Trends 2018 coverage, the manufacturers that responded to the Equipment Trends Q&A shared information regarding their latest equipment and any new products/upgrades coming soon. Wright Mfg. New for 2018, Wright Mfg. launched the second generation Stander X. It is one of Wright's longstanding and successful product lines and, this year, Wright made several improvements that make it even more maneuverable, powerful and durable - and it has higher fuel capacity. Greenworks North America. Greenworks introduced three new rechargeable products to the marketplace this year. The first is the introduction of the first UL-approved 82v rechargeable commercial stand-on and ride-on zero turn mowers. These units are designed for the professional landscape contractor, and can cut for 4 to 5 hours (depending on the cutting conditions) on a single charge. The third introduction is the new 82v Greenworks GBB700 dual battery port backpack blower, which is the first rechargeable backpack blower to achieve 700 cfm and offer about an hour of runtime with two 5-amp hour batteries. Husqvarna. This year, Husqvarna introduced its first-ever stand-on mower, the V500 series, that comes in a 48-inch or 54-inch deck size; overhauled the design of its commercial zero-turn line; introduced a new hydro-walk mower series, as well as a commercial 21-inch push mower.
