Review on Gates 6888 PoweRated FHP V-Belt for Medium Horsepower Applications by Isaac Simpson

This is KC's answer and initial review: If you break 3-4 belts in ANY 1 year you are missing out on the root cause of the break Belt. As a mower repairer, pulleys have frozen (even 1), stuck or belt debris on pulleys, bent alignment on pulley, pulley bushings or bolts worn causing movement, incorrect belt tension, wear, breakage, or missing tension springs. There are over half a dozen reasons for a broken belt, and worn, cracked, and weathered is almost NEVER the reason I replace a customer's mower belt. Look closely at your deck.
