| Abstract/Contents: | Announces the introduction of two walk-behind Baroness mowers to the U.S. market: the 22-inch LM56G and the 26-inch LM66T, produced by Kyoeisha Co. Ltd. of Toyokawa, Japan. Profiles Kyoeisha, stating that "Kyoeisha products are highly regarded in Japan, where the Baroness line has been marketed for 40 years, but how they will be received in the [United States] U.S. market is anybody's guess." Compares the mowers to John Deere products, stating that "like John Deere mowers, the cutting units of the Baroness mowers are gear driven, which...means no belts to change or break." Describes the products of several other mower manufacturers, including Toro, Jacobsen, and Greens King. |
