eero Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I was today Homepro Chaiyaphum and they have promotion from Asgatec RM 9000 Lawn Mower 79.000 Bath until 18.09.16. Has someone bought this model and is it ok?? Best regards Eero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the jungle Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Avoid any ride on mower with a Tuff Torq K46 hydrostatic transmission. Many of the models sold in Thailand have this transmission. Google Tuff Torq K46 and you will understand why I am saying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the jungle Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There is a 91 page long discussion of the problems with the K46 transmission on tractorbynet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I have a Asgatec RM 9000 "Type" Lawn Mower Mine isn't branded Asgatec but is identical apart from engine is 13 hp. My professional opinion of this piece of "machinery" - total crap! If you love maintaining hard to maintain equipment - go for it, from getting your butt burnt due heat from engine, no suspension padding or protection while cutting grass, there are no positives with this piece of crap! The first thing to go is the wiring, followed by the starter relay, followed by the gas tank leaking, rotating equipment wont engage unless it is hammered into position, the list is endless!!! I could be persuaded to part with this much loved family member! if you are looking for a lifelong project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eero Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks very good information. I think I go to buy this Troy Blit 17,5 HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugs11 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I would suggest you go and test drive the Troy Blit, as I was not impressed with it. Would not give it space in my garage. John Deere are still the best ride on, if you can find a genuine model in Thailand. Guess you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate across the klong has a big Kubota with the grass cutter attachment and while it is OK at hacking the big stuff down it makes a mess of it and it doesn't give a close cut. We used it on my neighbours land which was a metre or so high but it sort of ripped it out rather than cut it. Also not so good at the edges or around the trees. I did her land last week using a Honda brush cutter and it took me about 5 mornings work for an hour or so a morning. It is about 1 rai and still has the ruts from when it was ploughed a few years ago and the top end has a lot of stones and rocks. They chew up the blade a lot.

Mine is an Kubota L3008 and yes it makes a mess if you do not sharpen the blades regularly, I sharpen mine every time before I use it and it cuts fantastic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I finish my morning grass cutting with my brush cutter I take it back to the shed, remove and sharpen the blade, turn it over to refit it (thus giving more even blade wear), wash it down and then spray WD 40 on the head and blade as rust protection. I grease the head every couple of weeks and try to keep it in good condition. I have found that if I look after my tools they look after me and last longer.
