Is this an audition tape for professional wrestling?
reminds me of my family O.o
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.
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.
Some of the other things I’ve seem him do require a lot of strength. I’ll bet it is real.
Just hope the way he’s acting isn’t.
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.
As you can just barely see, the pole continues off frame. My guess is a weighted counter balance.
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.
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.
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?
People who can’t afford illegal immigrant labor.
Well, US’ economy has fallen so much, that illegal immigrants are coming back to their countries… (fact)
Hey look, gang! It’s the guy who trolls in and calls ” ‘shopped!” on everything!
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.
hey, hold my keg and watch this!
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.)
My thoughts exactly!
Now yall listen to your uncle steve, he’s dar smart one in dar family!
I don’t want to see his next video vivisection.
COOOOOOL
WIIIIIN !!!!!!!
INGENUITY
Making people fatter since 5000BC.
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.)
I sense a Darwin award at some point in this mans future.
That guy is such a douche bag.
We have machines for this, they’re called electrical hedge trimmers.
But he didn’t like em! All that cords strapped around your neck would just make that redneck go even more red!
And if that duct tape doesn’t hold up, that lawnmower is going to fall right on him and do some serious, serious harm.
Pardon me, Are you doubting the power of Duct Tape?
That is pure awesome right there.
Country Fried Videos’ World’s Strongest Redneck FTW!
That man is fundamentally awesome.
everything’s better on a stick. except it aint gonna be pretty when he accidentally brings the mower down on his knee
a real epic kludge. Including the usual duct tape.
that guy is a real redneck, I’d say. Think so too?
This guy is awesome, plain and simple. Sure he’s a dumbass but he’s entertaining, which makes him awesome in my book.
those some impressive guns, wish I could be the worlds strongest redneck
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!
Cool acting, very funny
Thanks Steve, made my LOL today.
Epic. This guy would be a star if Larry hadn’t already done this to death.
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.
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!!
holy crap, that’s actually genius, but he has to be the strongest rolly polly I’ve ever seen.
God and I can’t believe no one is complaining about his lame jokes and s**t.
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….
Hulk Hogan’s lost brother. ^^
He probably did it backwards for comedic effect. Still a beautiful idea.
Oh yeah, I shaw that tree werk into the barber sherp to
WTF?! ROFL!!1
Now trim the sides with that kludge… and watch the lawnmower stall out.
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.
OMG! MY REAL FATHER!!!!!!!!
Must Find HIm
I think I need his help. (:
I want to know if he’s single! That man would be a catch in my part of the country! Yessireee!
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…
Why did he put the exit chute on his side?
i doubt this type of guy really cares that much about how his hedges look….trailer parks usually dont have very many hedges anyways.

I got a Youtube-ad that was about “Viking office inventory” xD
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.
that guys on tv hes the worlds strongest redneck.
just watch country fried home videos
Jose LawnaPeno
Jose Lawnapeno?
eyes, on a steek
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.
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.
lolz, at least he admits to being a redneck
He forgot to say “Hey, y’all. Hold ma beer and watch this…”
No one noticed his teeth are far too nice to be a redneck?
Is this guy for real?
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!
