New Lawnmower Required

[Neilly]

Anyone know where I can get a decent lawnmower from (except HomePro!) here on Samui?

Preferably one that will run on this damn gasohol we have now. I’ve managed to keep my old one going for about a year, but it’s now using more engine oil than petrol.

Plus the drive belt snapped awhile back and the wife says it hurts her arms pushing it

The yellow pump in PTT is pure 95 octane gasoline.

Yeah I know...that's what I run my bike on...just trying to make things easier

I have seen them at tool pro 2, in Udon but that is a ways from you. Haven't seen them anywhere else though.

Going to be a tough find on Samui, from my experience two or three years ago....

What Home Pro sells as a "professional" model is no where close to a pro model in the west... but then the price is no where close either! All cheap materials that fall apart too easily!

Not seen in my travels, but then not really looked either... Perhaps a web search for Honda (true professional model, that should last!!! ) .... golf courses must use better types? Perhaps imported?

I go thru Lamai just about every day and haven't seen anything there...Honda in Nathon? Obviously not the bike shops because I've been in both recently...where?

Yes it was the bike shop but as I said long time ago. Another though try the guy that sell's water pump's, weed eaters and spare for cars the shop is right side going from Nathon before turning to immigration next to a garden nursery.

The Honda dealer in Lamai, moved years ago to the Ford dealership between Lamai & Nathon. I took my mower there a few times for service.

Just found this on a Thai site...solar powered mower...can just imagine coming home to all sorts of carnage

Just make sure that this is not from the same stable as the 'explosive-sniffing' guns that the Thai army bought.

[samuijimmy]

So are talking the Honda Car dealer in Lipa Noi area, here then?? Would never have guessed to try there!

I know the Honda bike shops not interested in fixin.... Small shops tend to to the famous Thai Modify tricks! .... which sometimes works but not always!

No we are talking about the Ford dealership. They have an annex with lawn mowers sales & service. Nothing to do with Honda Car Dealership.

The last time I had anything to do with a Husqvarna it led to a trip to the hospital, this was to have gravel removed from my arse after flipping a 500 motocrosser...so am very wary of buying one of their lawn mowers to be honest

Oh thought you meant that the Ford dealer changed to Honda Dealer.... OK you can go back to baking your crumpets now!

Maybe I'll start pushing my mower over there... when we know for sure that they do fix! !

Went to the Ford dealer today...couldn't find anything there to do with mowers

But decided to go to the main Honda bike dealer in Nathon...got batted off a couple of times, but then I managed to speak to the boss lady there and we have success...only one model available in Thailand...week to order...Baht 22k.

This is a genuine Honda, not just a mower with a Honda engine

I was quoted 55k for the Husqvarna so 22k for a real Honda seems good John
