If you're talking about something like in the photo below, I have seen them in Global House.

i think the mower kris is after does not have the side wheels, it runs on a steel roller similar diameter as the wheels on the mower in the photo, the roller sits at the back of the mower. i think in the U.K. it would be very hard to find one of these mowers , in Thailand i would not waste my time looking.

Yes Cris I have seen the cylinder mower also at Global but have never seen the type you're looking for except in the UK.
Maybe if you take joy you'll get lucky

Kris, five years ago and living in the U.K. iwas cutting the grass with a handpush cylinder mower. it has just accured to me that in Thailand and its the rainy season , the temps. 35C and the humidity is high the last thing i would use to cut the grass would be my old mower. i think that i would very quickly be exhausted.

Maybe he means an electric roller style one like the old 'Concorde' in the UK? But very rare even in UK these days.

The attached link promotes the 'Brill' reel mower. Given that their web site advises that they are out of stock is a good sign that they are a sought after product. Perhaps some of our German forum members might be able to attest to the reputation of the brand.

After reading the post,and reading the replies,I'm thinking he means a roller mower,the kind of mower the green keepers for bowling greens use. I'm guessing you won't find 1 in thailand
