    Has anyone seen an electric lawnmower for sale? Plenty of gas powered but haven't found an electric one. Thanks

    I'm still looking for a gas powered mower, where do I get one?
    Or were you just kidding?
    The best I could do was to buy a rotary push mower and my houseboy and I are tired of pushing the darn thing.

    There are 6 gas powered lawn mowers for sale at Uymatiao in Dgte but no electric. I was going to buy there largest gas powered, they put oil and gas in it to test it but it kept dying. A hand mower will not work for cutting my carabao grass in my back and the front bermuda is too big for a hand mower. I think they mostly use the big hand clippers here.

    Thanks for the info, I don't understand why nobody here in Cebu even knows what a lawn mower is, they all keep trying to sell me weed eaters or rent their relatives out to to me to do the job.

    BW, don't buy the weed eaters for cutting grass. I burnt up two of them trying to cut my carabao grass. There is a technique for using them that I didn't follow. You have to hold them up and cut the grass layer by layer, a little off the top at a time. Too much grass and no patience for that and a bad back can't take it.

    I have always hated weed eaters anyway and have burned up my share of them in the states, so I think that I'll stay with my rotary push mower and clippers for edging.
    Sorry to the houseboy, but $400 for an $89 lawn mower is out of the question.
    You should try killing off that buffalo grass and planting either Bermuda or Bluegrass, they grow well here and are easier to work with.
