Riding mower + industrial crane = flying hedge trimmer
You call that a hedge trimmer? Now, this is a hedge trimmer. Well, it's actually a riding mower suspended by a crane, but it works just as well.
Apparently, it was all actually a joke by two men in the UK New Zealand. "We were supposed to get all dressed up in our Mooloo gear and show people that this is how the Waikato boys mow their hedges," one of them said. Neighbors hailed it as a "A kiwi classic - jandals and all."
All right, I'll admit it: I'm not really sure what any of these people are saying. I see a crane, a riding mower and a hedge to be trimmed and I just know it's all awesome. Sadly, there's no video. I guess the Waikato boys don't have a YouTube account.

CORRECTION: New Zealand is not in the UK. Durrr.

New Zealand is hardly the UK- they are about 12,000 miles apart. Guess where the Waikato is?

Yeah, unfortunately, it's not like they could just draw a picture of some diamond chainsaw on the tip of some kind of programmable large robotic arm or remote controlled copter or something, and send it to some Chinese company and have version 1.0 Gold Master up, ready, shipped and delivered under a week or so.
So people have to do what they can with what they have in the backwood of New-Zealand or whatever.. hehe
on your cellphone!
