And it won’t even get under the trees. Mowing FAIL.
That photo’s gotta be a few years old; there’s no safety brake on the mower handle. Aside from having to go back to do the edges, it’s a decent LSD(Labor Saving Device) kludge.
I agree. Win!
That is what is all about,
being cool and showing it to others
Or, it’s for letting your meddlesome neighbor secretly take pictures through a window so as to turn your redneck ideas over to the world for mocking…
or he took the safety brake off. Would that make it a double kludge?
That just means the mower has to be old, the photo could be recent.
The ATC (not ATV) pictured is early to mid-80′s vintage, and blade brakes on push mowers did not come into common usage until the mid to late 80′s. I’m just sayin’…..
Still, I have come to count on people to always be wearing that same lawn-mowing outfit. Timeless.
The hell with global warming! Nothing better than a gas engine to move the mower around and another gas engine to spin the blades. The only thing missing is a 2-stroke engine margarita blender!
Gas powered blender
Don’t forget the gas powered hedge trimmer side attachments to get all those pesky oxygen-giving shrubs out of your expanding carbon footprint!
Why’s the lawn look like it’s been cut unevenly?
because he’s not done mowing yet
(Psst! It’s Motocross, not Mowtowcross.)
May neighbor does that. However, we’re talking major hillside where it is a safety issue to use a push mower. Think in terms of falling and having that mower coming back at you if pushing up or turning over and waiting for you while you slide to it. Of course this picture,while rotated, is apparently flat ground.

He got chased down by a lawn mower.
This one’s as old as the hills and twice as dusty. Back when men were men. They used mule power to pull the mower and spread the fertilizer simultaneously while the women folk poured the Long Island sweet tea.
I don’t know about that: my Navy father went to sea while my mother made sure to teach all her daughters proper lawnmower maintenance! Good lord, after some of THOSE hot-as-all-git-out days, I wished somebody had been bring ME something cold to drink!
This is unbelievable. Unbelievably awesome.
You guys got it all wrong.
This guy is using the powered mower to push the ATV. He just wants to
have ATV fun!
This way mom hears the lawnmower and not the ATV.
Theirs was a forbidden love. The lawnmower couldn’t help himself. She was fast…oh was she fast! The lawnmower tagged along everywhere the ATV went, like a puppy playfully nipping at her heels. Then one fateful night in the back of the shed, their chassis collided violently in a heap of twisted metal. Some months later, the first riding lawn mower was born as evidence to the world that they overcame the odds and their love could not be extinguished.
safety brake? ain’t that what they make zip-ties for??
Good Lord, just pay the neighbor kid 10 bucks. Gotta be cheaper than that.
Psst, that IS the neighbor kid. Or it’s my kid…
A Non Step For Man. A Giant Expansion Of His Belly.
He even got lazy on the kludgery.
No vice grips or duct-tape on either the throttle for the mower or the hitch itself?
COME ON MAN!
Can you blame him? I mean, look at that incline.
okay. i KNOW that there are riding lawn mowers that are cheaper than an ATV.
Yes, but kludging is all about using what you got rusting away around the farm.
And anyway, if you don’t have an ATV handy for this, how’re you going to free up the lawnmower so Grandpa can drive downtown to the cafe?
The biggest fail is that this is photoshopped……
The mower’s broken and being towed back to the repair shop.
Just the other day he was wondering how he could be fatter.
The only thing bigger than his carbon footprint is his growing buttprint
Unacceptable.
So. er… We heard you like to mow…
Our neighbor use to pull his wife on their riding mower with his car to mow their grass when the transmission went out in the mower. Since both the car and the mower were both junk it was wonder they ever got the grass mowed. Now he has a newer mower and drives it to the bar because he lost his license for DWI. So this didn’t surprise us a bit.
So which is he now, sodded or sotted?
Definitely SOTTED! We don’t think he has been sober in over 50 yrs.
this must be a few years old..I didn’t think ATCs were still around even due to their lack of safety
“They” stopped making 3 wheelers because the things dangerous. Apparently that wasn’t enough for this guy, who felt compelled to attach a whirling shaprned blade to the back.
But, with or without the additional source of decapitation, Honda still makes parts for their ATCs. I have several friends who think the ATCs are great, and continue to ride them. I also have several idiot friends; there is a lot of purple in the Venn diagram describing those two sets…
Now THAT is crunk.
It’s creating it’s own gravitational pull, making the entire world tilt!
I saw this movie. This must be the part BEFORE he gets hooked up to the computer and gets all super genius and trys to rule the world.
You do not want to see how he washes dishes!
I so
about the truth coming from this photo.
