Ted, I don't know what make hammer mill you have but on our papec, there was a plate which indicated the proper rpm of the hammer mill drive shaft. We used a hand held tachometer to adjust the tractor running speed to coincide with the hammer mill. Once you know where in the throttle to set it for the required rpm, You don't have to do it each time. Next, make sure your tractor is lined up square so that the belt tracks right, and as mentioned below. Use belt dressing to minimize slippage. Some sag is also required to keep the belt from jumping. you can tweek that in as necessary. I think you will find that most rules of thumb so to speak have been covered in this thread. Every belt will behave a little differently, as I have found that they seem to have a personality of their oown. Good luck. My cousin and I as kids used to see if we could shovel fast enough to bog down the old "H". Never happened. We just ground a lot of feed.
