MCCURTAIN COUNTY, Okla. — "I'm probably the biggest redneck you'll ever meet in your life."
You can't get more "Oklahoma" than Trez Beck.
"I got the big truck and the big lawnmower and all that stuff," Beck said. "So I guess that classifies as a redneck."
This 22-year-old lives in Valliant, Oklahoma.

"I grew up in the machine shop learning how to tinker and things," Beck said.
Four years ago, Beck had the brilliant idea to use the skills he learned from his grandfather and modify the small mower.
"I'm a little mechanically inclined and a little bit on the stupid side, too," he said. "So I decided 'let's put these big tires on a lawnmower and see what we can do with it.'"
The Mega Mower is a regular Craftsman lawnmower with its original engine, but it's a bit taller now since he added 37-inch tires from his old truck.
"I'm 6'2" and the seat of it is actually perfectly level with my head right here."
The top speed is about 15 miles an hour.
"It's a complicated little machine, but it works."
