If I'm recalling correctly, there used to be a video on the Busse website of Jennifer Busse using a Busse Battle Mistress E to cut 10 free hanging 1 inch ropes in one swipe. The DogFather is a similar size, shape, mass, geometry, etc. It should be able to do as in the video, easily, in the hands of someone skilled at doing that.
