If you have the ability to use a cutting outfit, and want to spend the money and time to rent a cutting out fit to cut one beam for scrap have at it.
Otherwise what you have will cut through it in less than 20 minutes and most of that will be tied up in changing wheels.
Place your marks and make a lite cut first 1/8" to 1/4", then set the saw for a 1" cut and have at it... the lite cut will guide the saw.
Same in cutting the web.
Have done it quite offten... and blades for the two are fairly cheap.
Phil Care to make a wager on that statement?

By the sounds of it the best route would be to just give the thing to a scrapper to remove it

An 8" I-beam, 1/2" thick, with a 10" web in 20 minutes, with an abrasive blade on a circular saw? I don't think so!

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

You want cheap? Get that neighbor to do it himself! I am afraid that the sparks would ignite his oxygen!  Can't happen.

Can you get the thing in a pickup? Just take it to any metal shop and have them torch or saw it in half. Won't take them 10 min and is a lot easier than renting a torch.

Put an ad in craigslist and sell it. Let the buyer worry about moving it.

Kind of obvious that not many have had to pay for the disks to cut some POS like this apart with a grinder, or anything short of a gas axe, nor had to do it. Russ

Russ More than obvious ive cut a [bleep] ton of steel using various techniques and given the OPs options, dismantling the [bleep] splitter via welds is the best option short of letting the son of bitch rust over the course of 175 years.
