Baroness brought 2 prototype fairway mowers to Vegas; as well as a new color. The 2 models are designated the LM2400 and LM2500. Both have a mowing width of 110 inches. Both have 26 inch reels.

The LM2400 has a diesel rated at 32.8 hp. A transport speed of 9.94 mph and mow speed of up to 8.7 mph. Available in 2 or 4 wheel drive.

The mower is designed to be used without grass catchers; note how close the rear cutting units are to the front tires.

The LM2500 comes with a turbo diesel rated at 44.9 hp. A transport speed of 12.43 mph and a mowing speed up to 8.7 mph. It comes in 4WD.

I'm guessing there will be more modifications to the front fenders; otherwise there will be water & mud flying everywhere. 

 The new color is just something to get everyone's feedback on. I told them it will take extra cleaning on the cutting unit cowling; it will turn black from the grass juice. As with all big mowers this year, the engines and bodywork are in flux due to the Tier 4 regs going into effect next January.
