Keven Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Under adult driving conditions, dry dusty dirt roads ,how often do you replace drive belts? Every 1000 miles seems excessive, but way better than trying to replace in the field. Thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark in Colorado Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I bought a spare (+ the requisite tools for belt change) and keep them handy, but don’t think I’ll need them for some years to come. I’m in low range a lot (snow plowing) and that’ll make a belt last and last. - Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andystoy19 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Low range is much easier on the belt because it allows the belt to upshift sooner and the upshift allows more belt to contact the primary sheave especially with larger tires or if you are in rough or boggy terrain, pushing snow or pulling a load. But driving around in low range all the time even on the level is not required or recommended.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
