Get the lugs from your local ag merchant, usually cheaper
I’ve a rook of 100mm square posts from when we had mainly cows , some plain some with lugs , plenty of sockets in the ground with covering plates makes it handy to set up a variety of pens , race etc

do you need to buy a socket? I have just concreted in a removable slam post (4 1/2" square) and I concreted in a socket, but I wonder it it would have been fine to just paint a bit of diesel on the post before I put the concrete round it, and then carefully lift it out after a few hours to leave the hole in concrete?

A 300mm socket costs nothing

We did our feed barriers 7 or so years back all with sockets, since then any I’ve put in , I grease the bottoms of the post and tape an old feed bag on then concrete it in, never had any bother lifting the post in or out

Used to wrap cardboard around the post and then some bale wrap of an old roll before concreting in
