We are looking to build an intake and elevator in the offseason, and we were curious what it was and how it worked for you. We used the round urethane belting from McMaster this year, but we had a lot of problems with it walking across the pulleys, it looks like you didn't have to use anything to keep the belt in place. Thanks!

McMaster #6075K15 is the belt we used.
It was awesome and reliable. Very little, if any stretching. No failures and tracking was simple. Just build up a crown of electrical tape under the belt and it naturally centers.
We did have to experiment with various ways of welding the belts. But that was also not too bad to figure out. This belting was just right for this application.
