Oh you would need special equipment If you lifted it manually you would need 30 people

@snowy22315 He must had used some special type of fertilizer to get such a yield.It ain't normal.

Hot dog, I had no idea pumpkins could get that big. O_O How do you get a pumpkin to grow that big?

With luck, and lots of fertilizer! including milk most likely.

@Hanyouyomi Know they feed it when they are fertilzing the plants. I don't think pouring milk on a pumpkin seed would get you very good results.

@snowy22315 You can pour milk onto a pumpkin seed? Well that explains it. O_O

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the photo was how come the pumpkin is not orange? Wow! That's a lot of seeds

Oh definitely! You know I have seen some of these big pumpkins before (Not that big of course.) However, they always seem to be some shade of green instead of orange.

WOW! I suppose the pumpkin must have had to be cut before being lifted!

It is intact. It might have been a little hard to take it off the vine though.

Pumpkin soup for years. This pumpkin will probably go on tour. It will probably end up on TV.
