On new installations, I like to leave enough wire past the H structure to allow backing up to it with a pickup, wrap the wire around the shank of the trailer ball, get everyone a safe distance away, and pull with the pickup until the wire breaks at the wrap around the ball, then re-stretch with the mechanical stretcher and double wrap the corner post. It will stay tight for many years.
