          Milwaukee blades ok but diablo metal cutting saw zall blades work well.
          Just go slow or it chews all the teeth off.
          Grinder works great at cutting steel and starting fires !

            I cut about 120 with a sawzall not long back. Cut the middle spine. When you get it cut down to the flat spot, stop and bend the post back and forth and it will break. Some post are much harder than others.

              Been said above multiple times Torch and Diablo both will get er done...Thin cutoff wheel on angle grinder will work great too..I got a el cheapo Ryobi 4 1/2 angle grinder with 18v 4ah..its cut plenty...Just don't crowd it.....A 7in electric with cut off blade would eat them..Wear face shield...
              Sawzall with them torch/diablo will too but it needs post to be pretty stable sawzall can be pretty JERKY when sawing something not stable...

              Portaband are great too but most people don,t have and they expensive...A OX/AC cuttin torch works great too..but exp too but real portable and quiet

                Raise the wire or panels. If one or two posts are too high, give them a couple of taps with the T post driver. Keep the sparks and flame out of the pasture unless you are a lot greener than we are.

                  Sounds fire proof
                  If you used a pipe as a cheater sounds simple
                  Not sure if my bolt cutters are big Enough

                    Sawzall. Slow your speed down as your most likely dulling your blades. Soft metals especially need to use at a bout 1/2 speed. Cutting or drilling.

                        Made it back out today with torch blades and angle grinder. The torch carbide on sawzall ripped right thru. Never had to try angle grinder. Thanks for everyone’s help. The first blades I tried last week were Diablo. They sucked

                          Looks good. Always wanted to do that on the front side of my pens.

                          My local Home Depot shows to have that blade. Did you use more than 1 blade?

                            You can do 20 with one blade though it did slow down cutting last 5.
