nong38 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 When I return to Thailand I will need to acquire a lawn mower, a couple of months ago I saw some petrol driven models but have not seen any electric ones and I would be happy to look at a Fly MO or any other HOVER MOWERS are these available in THailand if so where might I find one? Electric Mowers available or not, if so where? Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyMcCollum Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Never seen a fly mow here or a hover mower of any kind,. I have seen the Gas as well as electric at places noted as well as many local hardware shops. They seem spendy here for what you get Craftsman riding mower $2,000 in the states, 199,000 Bt here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nong38 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) It would be helpful to know your location? I have been able to get one up here in Chiang Mai I will be returning to Nakhon Sawan, we have a Global, Home Pro and another big Global type place on the bi- pass. Big C did not appear to have much.

chickenslegs Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Black and decker have a factory in Bangkok. They make a small electric hovermower which is very easy to use and gives great results. I have owned two. Each burned out after around 2 years of use (B&D give a 2 year guarantee) but, to be fair, my lawn is quite a bit bigger than the recommended size for this mower, so probably should have rested it a bit more often. The first I bought at Homeworks. The second at True Value. Around 3,500 baht each time. If there was a petrol version of this hovermower available here I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

nong38 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 THanks for the information, when I get back I know where I need to look and maybe I will consider a petrol model, we have a lawn of about 4 metres square so its not a big challenge unless the lady has shears and gets sore shoulders!

canuckamuck Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I would love to find one of those that you just push and the wheels turn the cutters. Don't know what the are called, manual mower I guess. Anyhow, lawn mowers are definitely expensive here, that is why they use brush cutters for the mowing in many places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you describe is called a "reel" mower as compared to a gas powered or electric "rotary" type. Reel mowers cut cleaner and are almost always what golf courses use. Larger and gas powered. I bought a fairly good push reel mower when I lived in Chiang Mai. They were available in the small mom and pop hardware stores... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Had loads of electric mowers and strimmers that last about a year, hopeless, so l bought a Honda petrol jobby that is not gear driven but does a good job very quickly. The petrol mowers with drive seem to have drive probs in a short time, as friends have had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
