My wife loves the wild cactus patches, and won't let me kill them :-) At my property in Bonham, I have a few different varieties of wild cactus, this pic is the most common you find - it is Prickly Pear (or opuntia) and puts out bright yellow flowers. Another variety we have is called Cow's Tongue (that is the slang version of course), it looks like prickly pear, but is stretched out (like a cow's tongue) instead of round pads. Whe have an old parch of Cow's Tongue cactus that is over 50' in diameter with main stalks as big as my waist. Another variety is Walking Stick cactus, which puts out nice purple flowers and is more stick shapped like a lot of small sticks stuck together. As has been said, if you cut it, each piece will grow into another plant. I hear you scrape the cactus at the ground with a flat shovel and throw the top in a burn pile. If this is done during a hot dry spell, the roots will die out as well. My wife would kill me if she saw me typing this :-) Good luck, Dan

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
