I'd check with someone from 195, but I recall hearing a failure rate of 10-12 belts over the competition season because of the heavy defense (pushing matches). That's a LOT of cash in replacement parts.
Thanks! thats good to know as we don't have a huge budget to spend and if they break that could really put us in the hole.

Just wondering do you guys think snowblower tracks might work if they were somehow cut down to size?
