This is Kermit.
Kermit is a fetch frog.
He brings home all sorts of stuff.
He brought home a rock that looks like a bullfrog.
He waved his butt around in the air getting it.
Kinda like Miss Piggy in heat.

Its true.
I wouldn't tell you guys tall tales.

Actually, this was under where I was trying to put a fence post. PHD went down about 8" and hit it. I started digging around it.... and around it.... and around it... until I had a massive hole. A bit of "PT Pucker" getting that thing out....

Around and around... yeah.
Spot rock that looks harmful to the brush cutter. Rake dirt around edges with fingers to get hold of it.
Hmm... Get shovel dig around it...
Get Kermit try to flip out. Hmmm... Around and around... What the heck? Other half of Yosemite's Half Dome migrate to this spot somehow???

I see a Gravy fellow who has a Kermit that likes to root around in the rocks also. His Kermit also has a modified exhaust. Small world. :) Or maybe I'm just late to the party.
Kermit's are just natural born rock grubbers I guess.

Quite a few modified exhausts. Although only a couple of folks have gone for the dual muffler racing edition like you have. :D

I put on the stock Robin muffler and exhaust header.

Thats "old enema orange", my 34 Ford hot rod.Got a fairly strong 383 stroker under the hood which makes it even more fun than Kermit.
Cept when the transmission or something blows up. Then not so much...
The most fun machine of all was the chop top 34 Ford I had back in the 50's. Put a built DeSoto hemi in it and blew up the driveline on a regular basis.
Used to pull the transmission out and apart in half an hour. These days, not so much. :) .Like half a week. If I feel really energetic.
Mechanical things are fun.

So that's got me thinking... how many of you out there have named your PT/tractor? Last week, my neighbor offered to bring Carlos over and help.

"Who's Carlos?"

"My Cub Cadet."

Both of mine have been called "The Toy" -- that's what my friend called my PT-425 when he first saw it, comparing it to his 30HP Kioti. After he saw what I could do with it, he wanted to use it, so I stored it at his house for quite a while rather than hauling it back/forth from Massachusetts to Tennessee. He put a couple hundred hours on it, at least, clearing his 13 acres, moving brush etc. He's now a huge Power Trac fan... He asked me what we were going to call the PT-1430, and I said we may as well just call it "The Toy" also, since both of us know that it is an incredibly useful tool instead. He agreed...

The PT425 is just called "The Tractor".

Our kids named our cars, though.

2003 Impala was Mojo.
2013 Impala is Dudley.
1993 red Suburban is Clifford (the big red dog).
Oldest daughter's Mercury Sable is TSB (pronounced Tisby, for The Silver Beast). :laughing:

Of course, I'm not too original on pet names, either....
My dog's name was Dog and my cat's name was Kitty Cat. :)
