  1. Now that is a sad state of affairs. Personally, short handle bolt cutters and a hooked crowbar would be my weapons of choice. Good luck on that one, you are needing it.

    LOL, thanks Michael.

    Amen! finally got rid of it after 6 hours worth of pulling, cutting and shoving. This stock fencing was 4mm and must be nitrided hardened sprung memory titanium alloy steel (I exaggerate only for the purpose of clarity) ... once I did chop through it, it stayed right where it was like an alien face hugger! It laughed at my large assortment of crowbars so I used a ratchet strap to drag it off!

    A good plan! but when I had a look, the rear prop bolts were well buried under the wire but the grinder worked well. Jazz has mentioned about the 1mm disks for cutting through rails... I can attest that they also go through this wire very well too.

    @John
    LOL, daily transport?? wow, now that IS impressive. This one's not been on the road since 2002, It'll stay running it until it eventually gets beyond repair the possibility of repair or tries to 'mind meld' a couple more fences... whichever comes first!

    That's high tensile fence wire for you!
    Good quality sharp bolt cutters are the best solution.
