Awesome footage of a man combining a go-kart and several lawnmowers to make mowing the lawn a whole lot easier.

The video, filmed on May 7 in New South Wales, Australia, shows the scientist - who also runs the Make Science Fun YouTube channel - building a rig of three lawn mowers attached to the back of a go-kart so they can be towed.

He then lets his seven-year-old son, Samuel, mow the lawn by driving the go-kart while he sits back and "enjoys a cold beer!"

Genius Dad hacks his son's electric go-kart and adds three lawnmowers.

++Clients Note: The 7 year old boy who is technically mowing the lawn with bare feet (unintentional, but still safe) will generate many comments / banter / flare wars if run as a media story++

When YouTuber Jacob Strickling is mowing the lawn, his 7 year old son drives by on his solar powered electric go-kart.

This gives Jacob a spark of inspiration!

Jacob sets about finding another two lawnmowers, which he then harnesses together using bits of wood, screws and attachments.

This rig of three lawnmowers is then connected to the back of the go-kart so that it can be towed.

Samuel the son is then able to successfully mow the lawn while Jacob enjoys a cold beer! Only in 'Straya!
