UTV drive belts

[Mtsoxfan]

Our recent purchase of a UTV, and we have only used for plowing. I've plowed some in a truck, but with a belt drive UTV, it's another animal. As expected, plowing has been tough on the drive belt. We have close to 20 hours of plowing and there is some slop. I do have a replacement from factory. Looking forward to next year, is there a specific brand/style of belt better suited for plowing?

Are you plowing in low gear? Never leave it running in gear, put it in park, or you will hourglass the belt.

Yes, plowing in low, in work mode. Never running in gear more than needed to lift plow.
