Hi All,
I've got a relatively new to me Hustler. Raptor SD with a 60" mower deck and i'm still learning the ins and outs of the machine.
I just broke my second mower deck belt of the season, getting about 10-12 hours on a belt. Is this normal? My last mower was a John Deere and I'd typically get 3-4 seasons on a belt. I've got a big rural property so go through about two tanks of fuel for a single cut and don't have the time to cut it until grass gets 4-5 inches high...the machine works hard. That said though so did my JD and I never went through belts as fast as I do on the Hustler.
Further to the above, can anyone recommend a brand of deck belt that gives the best service life?
