Time for a new mower, 95% it will be a petrol honda but will entertain others just had terrible experiences with local shops bodging and ruining a perfectly good brigs and statton because they wont simply order its parts from bangkok. 
 

I was all set to splash out on the Honda HRJ216 as the top quality on the market for non ride on, but just before clicking buy I realise its near 60 kilos and huge, thats total overkills for the half rai of terraced gardens and be too large for the size of the people who will use it. 

I seek something that kind of peak quality, but in a smaller / mid size package. Price is not irrelevant but far secondary to best quality and local parts supply.

Hi there

I replaced my chinese petrol mower last year. It still works but after 8 years had been repaired several times but was still a good workhorse.

Bought a new one on Lazada, very similar, lightweight, reliable and easy to fix. Cost just over 5k baht.

Now I know what your'e thinking, chinese rubbish, Honda it aint, but I know I'll get many years outa this without breaking the bank. 

You choose.
