How often to you replace the belt on your mower ?

What he said. But I do keep spare belts on hand for when the time comes.

Inspect the belt If not cuts in the belt..let her roll

Run it til it breaks. Use pantyhose to finish mowing when it breaks. Get new belt.

Whenever it breaks off

When it don’t work no mo

My belt broke at a little over 700 hrs so replace at 700 hrs.

they dont stretch they wear on the side that runs on the pulley so they loosen as the "v" part wears.

normally belts last a couple of years but its like the tires on your car, how fast it wears out depends on how much you use it and the quality of the belt

not saying you need oem belts but good quality belts, just like good quality tires, last longer then cheap ones do.

at least every 10-12 grass cuttings the blades should be sharpened as well, dull blades causes more drag and wears on the belt more as it struggles to spin the blades.

another thing that can affect belt life is the pulley condition

my snapper belt is 5/8" wide and when it wears down to only 1/2" wide the belt slips and stops cutting in tall grass. when you take the belt off it still looks like new and you can only see the difference when its put next to a brand new belt
