Greenside Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It's a simple push along that delivers an even spread for about a metre on each side. These seem to be pretty much unknown around here, although several places I've asked say they have had enquiries about them (from farangs, of course). I'm going to need one next week - anyone spotted one? I've tried Kamptien and all the usual DIY type sheds plus the agricultural dealer near Rimping Condominiums.

PattayaClub Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I looked high and low for one of these -- all to no avail. If you ever find one, please post on here so others can find it, too. I looked into importing one, but because of the dimensions, it would have cost over $300US with shipping. What I ended up doing was importing a handheld model, which would fit in a box with a lower shipping cost than the walk behind model (but still not cheap!). It works fine, but a walk behind is going to give a more accurate spread. One advantage of the handheld, though, is that it has a very wide broadcast and is quite rapid. I purchased one of these from Amazon US and had a friend ship it to me in a plain box -- no tax or duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonsalviz Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 When I asked about one of these, I was told that it must be some foreign invention. Thailand No have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Try asking a rice farmer to do the job for you. They have petrol powered backpack spreaders. Maybe they're not suitable for smaller areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yes, that's the problem. Spreading by hand always gives you patches and although there's a lot of grass the individual areas are not big enough to make any kind of motorised solution viable.

Good god, man, of course it's a foreign invention. The Thais have NEVER invented ANYTHING -- except maybe the false smile for which they are s famous.
