Not knowing where your located climate wise makes it hard to determine how deep the post ought to be set. Here in Ohio post need to be 34 to 36 deep to avoid frostline heaving of the post. Also if you think about it lumber comes in 8ft 10 ft lengths so a 6 ft fence with an 8' pole is only barried 24 inches. I use 10 footers myself and cut them down. Also the higher the track level the more likely to pull over the fence with that leverage thing, more so with the wind factor the others mentioned.
