Vevor 750 lb Dump Cart
Interior Dimensions: 46" x 30" x 11.5"
I use this cart constantly! It's well built and just big enough for most of my yard needs without being too large. It's held up to a lot of abuse. I've carried 18 inch logs, dirt, mulch, plants, tools, ... Pretty much any time I need to move something around my yard I pull this thing out.
They advertise it as 15 cubic feet, but, like most of these carts, the volume is exaggerated. The interior dimensions without the rails are 46" x 30" x 11.5". That's about 9.2 cubic feet or 1/3 of a cubic yard.
Assembly was fairly easy, but I did tighten a few things only to find I had to undo some bolts to fit the next piece, so may avoid unnecessarily tighting the bolts until everything is in place.
They use hex head bolts for assembly. This makes assembly easier, but they do make the interior less smooth. I thought that might be an issue, but it hasn't been.
You can find it on Amazon or directly from Vevor.

Suorto Tow Hitch
This is a tow hitch receiver for a Lexus GX460. It just happens to be an almost bolt-on option for Ryobi 48V mowers. It utilizes the bolts that hold in the battery tray, so I'm not sure if it would work in the RM300e since it doesn't have a battery tray.
You'll need to drill some holes in the frame tube behind the battery and add a couple M8 or 5/16 bolts to complete the installation. For more pictures and details, see this Facebook post.

EilxMag Magnetic Hitch Pin
When changing tow-behind accessories, this hitch pin is a game changer (no pun intended). It has a strong magnet under the handle, so, in most cases, you can get away without installing the locking pin. Combine that with a large, easy to grab handle and connecting or disconnecting tow behind equipment is so easy.
Comes with a red, green, or yellow handle.
Find it on Amazon.
Agri-Fab 48 Inch Dethatcher (45-0295)
Thatch is the built up of dead grass and roots under your actively growing grass. When there's too much thatch, it prevents new grass from growing, resulting in a thinner lawn. Excess thatch can make your lawn appear yellow, particularly during the colder months. The tines on this thing will pull up the thatch as you tow it.
You'll want some weight on it to keep it from bouncing around. A 16 x 8 x 4 inch cinder block attached with a bungee cord to each side will do the trick. The blocks are about $2 at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Brinly Snow Blade
Use your mower in the winter to clear your driveway. These plows work great, but if you get a lot of snow, you'll also probably want to look at snow tires or chains for the rear as well as adding weight over the rear tires.
FB-42RY (For RM480)
This is a 42 inch model designed to bolt on to the RM480.
It's available from Brinly or Home Depot.
FB-42RYZT (For ZT480)
This is a 42 inch model designed to bolt on to the ZT480 and newer 80V zero turn mowers.
It's available from Brinly or Home Depot.
Vevor Lawn Sweeper
Lawn sweepers are a fast way to pick up debris from your yard. They'll pick up sticks, leaves, pine cones, walnuts, and thatch as easily as driving over them. They have long brushes connected through gears to the wheels, so when you drive, the brush spins, throwing whatever is in front of it into the basket. Then back it up onto your dump pile, pull the rope to lift the basket up to dump the contents. You don't even need to get off the mower. Just dump it slowly or everything ends up on top of the sweeper.
It's a huge time saver. The main downside is these things are a bit bulky to store. However, the basket comes off easily and will fold down by removing the rear vertical supports.

Steering Column Mount for Clamp-on Tools
If you have an RM480 and some Ryobi clamp on tools (fan, light, speaker, etc), our friends over at ACMC Studios have a bracket that attaches to your steering column and will hold 1 to 3 clamp-on tools. You can get it in black or green with attachment points for 1 to 3 tools.
Since the attachment points bolt on, this could be adapted for other uses. If you have something specific in mind, contact ACMC Studios to see if they can make it.
Available on their Etsy store.
