It's like anything else - there are lots of ways depending on wire, soil, and stretch. I use a corner hedge post that is a good 16 inches in diameter and burried to China. I use a brace that's a foot but doesn't need burried any more than line posts, but I get them every bit of four foot deep. I notch to top of the two posts with a chain saw and use a horizontal pipe between the two at the height of the top wire - large oil field pipe. I think it's 2 7/8. Then I cut a shallow nick with the chain saw and brace with #9 wire twisted tight from the top wire location of the brace to just below the bottom wire location of the corner. Twist it tight with a three inch piece of well pipe and let it lock against the larger pipe. I use a tractor to pull my wires so they are fiddle tight. Never had one loosen or pull.
Forgot to mention - I use fly ash in the holes. Doesn't take much. I buy it off of a fencing friend who gets it in large bulk. I like it because posts never have to set up. By the time I get the posts set the wires are ready to put up and stretch tight.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
