Mower belt question

300jk · Aug 28, 2017

I have a b8200 Kubota with a rcb60 mid mount deck. Two summers ago I posted about it breaking belts. I got that problem fixed. Tension was too tight and idler pulley was out of alignment. No problems since until today. Belt broke on the deck. Was cutting some pretty thick heavy and wet grass. The belt it takes is a Napa b108. Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a heavier duty version of this belt. This one almost lasted two seasons which I can live with. Probably would have been fine if I was cutting normally. Meaning dry and not so tall and wet. Is there a hd. version of this belt ? I can buy the same belt for around 35 bucks and a replacement from the dealer is almost double. Just looking for options/opinions.

Have you tried a kevlar belt( If they make one)? I have used them on my lawn mowers and have one on my 06 impala now for 7 years and still looks like new.

make sure it is really the right belt, I had a cub that the belts would roll over on, found the problem was the auto belts weren't the right width, used international belts and problem solved

PLEASE..... go to tractor supply with your make model serial number and any other numbers on the idea tag. They will look it up in the computer and sell you the correct KEVLAR blue color belt. I now have three machines with them and so far they are fantastic!!!
