Ride on tractor mower

[Dannie Boy]

I remember the subject of grass vs pebbles being discussed on here a few years ago, with a lot of people advocating in favour of the pebbles, but if you do have a large grassed area and have fairly deep pockets, I noticed for the first time in the area that Home Pro are now stocking a ride on tractor mower. It was priced at 139,000 and a quick discussion got that down to 130,000 - obviously not cheap, but if you have a big garden and cut the grass yourself, this would cut the time down considerably. I don't remember the make, but it had a Briggs and Stratton 17.5 HP engine and forward and reverse gears.

Used to have a riding mower when I lived in Maine and had a large yard. Couldn't find one with a beer holder so had to rig my own!

For 130,000 BT, you can pay someone to mow your lawn in Thailand for about ten years without getting off your couch!

Hello dear, I got the same lawn mower from Honda lawn mowers Marietta sales last month and I am amazed that they offered me much better price than this one. Now I am surely going to buy it.

What price and specification was it and what/where is Marietta?

Thanks

Not necessarily if you have a large lawn. When we had that big lawn there a couple of years ago we had to pay 7k per month for a reliable gardener (and I still had to provide all the tools including a walk behind mower) so the cost of that riding mower was paid in about a year and a half. However, that did include all gardening, not just mowing. The labor cost really depends on the size of your lawn and what quality of worker you want. I might have considered doing the mowing myself with a riding mower, Migrant's beer holder, an attached fan and canopy.

Don't ride, or push. Simply lay in that hammock with cold drink of choice

Yes but you're retired. I'm not and my hourly rate is much higher than the Thai gardeners and he's also got a cow that eats the cuttings!
