Check the drive wheels/sprockets that drive the belt aren't worn, that'll eat belts in no time.

Expensive lesson for me.

 

Yes we had that problem last year. Belt life seems to be variable and highly dependant on operator. Apart from worn sprockets ripping the teeth we have had failures from small stones trapped between belt and sprocket punching through the belt (a poor maintenance issue IMO) but recently a shock load has torn the belt cleanly in two. Although the belt has the correct markings I see no sign of carbon fibre in the break.

 

I'm going to be in the market for a smaller tracked machine (gross weight with trailer less than 3.5 tonne) and probably direct drive like the predator 50RX

I had a look yesterday & they will cost us £630 to buy one, I'll keep looking. Pleased Bandit swapped to belt less machines.

 

We possibly need to talk!
