I would also check your manual for how to engage and disengage the PTO. It probably says to do so at full engine RPM. When I worked at the local JD store, we found that belts flop around a lot more if engaged and disengaged at idle than at full engine speed. We started asking customers how they engaged and disengaged the PTO whenever we had someone who complained about belts coming off. That fixed al lot of them. It's counter intuitive, but it makes a difference. This was true across models, and my Simplicity is the same way, per the manual. If you're trying to baby it by engaging at lower RPM, you may be hurting yourself.
