    f.. jk
    hahaha this is friggin epic

  2. Blangadanger says:

    Is this an audition tape for professional wrestling?

  3. ryan says:

    reminds me of my family O.o

  4. bigjohn756 says:

    That is one stout redneck! He could hardly hold that mower on a stick, but not many of us could even lift it like that.

  5. Bruce says:

    They need to go to the wide shot – where I’ll betcha you can see the crane and the very thin wire supporting the mower, at least a counterbalance system to take most of the weight.

    All he’s doing with the stick is steering it around.

    • adfogg says:

      Some of the other things I’ve seem him do require a lot of strength. I’ll bet it is real.

      • BTM says:

        Just hope the way he’s acting isn’t.

        • Duke says:

          It’s not. He’s something of an amateur comedian, and it’s kind of a “bit” that he does when he makes his videos. Mostly he just does amusing things that show off his strength. Chubby or not, the man is extremely strong.

    • mark says:

      As you can just barely see, the pole continues off frame. My guess is a weighted counter balance.

      • boringTroll says:

        Which means he is lifting more than the weight of one lawnmower. The counter balance doesn’t totally cancel out the weight of the mower, he is pushing down on the counter balance side, lifting up on the lawnmower side. The pole going out of the frame is a larger diameter iron pipe. The counter weight may just be several more feet of pipe. A long pole would make it more stable. That helps to keep it from shaking.

        That kind of lawnmower is less than 60 pounds. The whole thing including the counter weighted stick is probably less than 100 pounds. I can carry that much, but I wouldn’t be able to make a straight cut.

    • Venus says:

      It’s not that far fetched. I’ve got 12″ guns and I could probably do it struggling and shaking. I’d be more worried about the pole snapping or ripping the mover engine off.

    • Matt says:

      Well, prolly a guy named “Bruce” would never be able to lift it, anyway. Michelle Obama might have the guns for it.

      But hey, don’t they have illegal immigrants down south? Who the heck trims their OWN hedges?

    • PsychoDad says:

      Hey look, gang! It’s the guy who trolls in and calls ” ‘shopped!” on everything!

  6. Venus says:

    I realize this is a performance, but I’m curious how he does the sides.

    Also, I think and arborist would cringe at that joke.

  7. treborx says:

    hey, hold my keg and watch this!

  8. yaya says:

    You’d think he’d at least attach the pole so the discharge would blow away from him instead of into his side. (And give the neighbor more to rake up.)

  9. Sarcastoid says:

    Now yall listen to your uncle steve, he’s dar smart one in dar family!

  10. Giardiniera says:

    I don’t want to see his next video vivisection.

  11. FAN says:

    COOOOOOL
    WIIIIIN !!!!!!!

    Fried lawnmower on a stick. Will the wonders of the county fair never cease?

    (Sorry, that was my first thought – also a sign that I shouldn’t have been looking at this site just before lunch.)

  14. Piratey Goodness says:

    I sense a Darwin award at some point in this mans future.

  15. PGal says:

    That guy is such a douche bag.

  16. Dirk says:

    We have machines for this, they’re called electrical hedge trimmers.

    • totto says:

      But he didn’t like em! All that cords strapped around your neck would just make that redneck go even more red!

  17. Orz says:

    And if that duct tape doesn’t hold up, that lawnmower is going to fall right on him and do some serious, serious harm.

  18. Sunflash says:

    That is pure awesome right there.

  19. Ric says:

    Country Fried Videos’ World’s Strongest Redneck FTW!

  20. Frost.Blast says:

    That man is fundamentally awesome.

  21. mikey says:

    everything’s better on a stick. except it aint gonna be pretty when he accidentally brings the mower down on his knee

  22. ChromeLynx says:

    a real epic kludge. Including the usual duct tape.

    that guy is a real redneck, I’d say. Think so too?

  23. This guy is awesome, plain and simple. Sure he’s a dumbass but he’s entertaining, which makes him awesome in my book.

  24. Matty2Fatty says:

    those some impressive guns, wish I could be the worlds strongest redneck :(

  25. TehRoflcopters says:

    On a related note, I was using one of those corded hedge clippers once, and I was cutting the bush, when suddenly there was this huge shower of sparks and the clipper died. Well, it turns out the cord had gotten wrapped around the bush, and I cut right through it!

  26. anon says:

    Cool acting, very funny :)
    Thanks Steve, made my LOL today.

  27. Mike Gervasi says:

    Epic. This guy would be a star if Larry hadn’t already done this to death.

  28. risskia says:

    This is AWESOME! I’m a 5’4 woman with mere 14 inch “guns” (yes, I work out) and I might could do this with a mini-mower – as an OP mentioned, I’d be sweating and shaking, but I woudl LOVE having this.

  29. LadyFixIt says:

    He had ADD there for a moment when he went into his joke, but at least he went back to it. I laughed, I thought he was funny! Isn’t this what we all think of when people say redneck? He just plays right into the whole redneck stereotype and he does it with gusto! EPIC indeed!!

  30. Sylph says:

    holy crap, that’s actually genius, but he has to be the strongest rolly polly I’ve ever seen.

  31. Jdcjehbchfjsks says:

    God and I can’t believe no one is complaining about his lame jokes and s**t.

  32. Greg Griffin says:

    WTF??? He hass hooked tis up backwards…. everyone knows you attch the stick so the output from the lawnmower sprays away from you, not at you…. strong like bull….smart like fencepost….

  33. Adaros says:

    Hulk Hogan’s lost brother. ^^

  34. Anonny says:

    He probably did it backwards for comedic effect. Still a beautiful idea.

  35. icanhascoohez says:

    Oh yeah, I shaw that tree werk into the barber sherp to
    WTF?! ROFL!!1

  36. Sarge says:

    Now trim the sides with that kludge… and watch the lawnmower stall out.

  37. DeadBob says:

    Well, you can avoid that problem of stalling by using an extender tube to brig the carberator and gas tank out a few inches, and the you will be able to rotate the carb to allow the fuel to flow properly.

    The rest of the engine will operate in any orietation.

    However, the entire activity put all the liability fr the invitable injuries (and/or death) on yourself.

  38. cowlifornia says:

    OMG! MY REAL FATHER!!!!!!!!

    Must Find HIm

  39. I think I need his help. (:

  40. TomatoSoup says:

    I want to know if he’s single! That man would be a catch in my part of the country! Yessireee!

  41. Papawolf says:

    Little known fact, that is the reason there is a deadman handle on lawnmowers. Murry lawn mowers were sued back in the 80′s by someone that picked up the lawn mower by the deck and was using it as a hedge trimmer. When it hit a branch he lost all his fingers, sued because the instructions did not say not to use it that way. Murry went to other lawnmower manufacturers and the handle is what has been used since.
    Sad world we live in…

  42. Bob Fairlane says:

    Why did he put the exit chute on his side?

  43. rs says:

    i doubt this type of guy really cares that much about how his hedges look….trailer parks usually dont have very many hedges anyways.

  44. Jimmylou says:

    I got a Youtube-ad that was about “Viking office inventory” xD

  45. duked says:

    i would find this funny except i have a mower i got for free someone broke mowing the top of their hedges bent the blade up when they hit their electric meter.

  46. pidcat says:

    that guys on tv hes the worlds strongest redneck.
    just watch country fried home videos

  47. donutsalad says:

    Jose LawnaPeno

    Jose Lawnapeno?

    eyes, on a steek

  48. Chris says:

    Why do people come here just to instigate crap about things being fake? Why would the strongest redneck want to fake carrying a lawnmower on a stick?
    There’s no “counter-weight” watch his step, he’s holding it. And that’s about the smallest mower you can find. not that heavy either. My mower is bigger and I put it up in the truck myself, and I don’t have any “guns”.
    Just enjoy the dude’s video and what he does in it..
    At least ise was smarter than the people responsible for the warning labels telling you not to pick up a running mower or have your fingers sliced off.

  49. AGood says:

    Maybe he should mount the stick on the opposite side, so that the side-discharge doesn’t throw debris into his face…but I think common sense went out the window a loooong time ago.

  50. jon says:

    lolz, at least he admits to being a redneck

  51. JT says:

    He forgot to say “Hey, y’all. Hold ma beer and watch this…”

  52. HazelBoo says:

    No one noticed his teeth are far too nice to be a redneck?

  53. Dori says:

    Is this guy for real?

  54. Spinny says:

    Looks like he was thinking way ahead of the average person. He had the blower directed at him so he can eat the lettuce while he works. Never have to take a lunch break!
