For HT hot wires I use T-post and space'n depends on the ground and what it's used for. For the wean'n pin and working pin (turn off juice when use'n working pin!!) I space post about ever 16' to 20'. On perimeter fence I space'm about 40' to 50' on flat ground. On hills and ridges I place them close enough to keep the bottom wire off the ground and the rest 8" to 12" apart. On some real rough ground I have post 5' apart to get over mounds or down in draws.
What you have to keep in mind is that with HT, the line post just have to hold the wires up and apart. The corner post, braces, and tighteners hold the tension. The spring action of the HT and the volts do the work. One of the advantages of HT is cost, alot of the savings come from not having to put a post every 16'.
One word of advice, and this is just my opinion, shop around and be sure to get 175k psi wire and not 200k. If you want to see if you can find some people to give you 10' of each and try to tie each to an insulator and splice each and see for your self before you drop $100 for a bundle of wire you won't like. Also becarefull when shop'n for insulators. Be sure what ever you buy won't break down in sunlight. I have had some cheap ones ger britle and break after 3 years. Also for line post insulators I like the pin lock ones.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
