Default Plant Identification

We recently purchased a house and it has this plant in the flower bed. I don't know what it is, I have not seen it bloom, only with these seed pods on the stalks. I want to figure out if it's anything special I might regret removing before I yank it out. Any help is appeeciated.

Pretty much sums up our feelings about it.

Thanks Lew!

Makes sense, it looked like those agave plants, turns out it's in the agavoideae species. Now how to turn it into tequila.....

Yep, yucca as mentioned.
They have very deep roots too. Dad dug out a large clump of plants in his yard years ago. The fiber root clumps went down about two feet in the ground.
Yes, very hardy and tough.

You may have better luck digging up the house and moving it instead.

If it keeps coming back spray it with some glyphosate, it should take care of it.

So I'm getting the impression I'm not going to be able to just rip it out, rototill over it and call it done......

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
