Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I break belts so often on my ride on mower?

Belts will break, no matter how long you have had them, if they are put under too much strain. The most common problem we see is a belt broken due to overloading. This can be caused by many things including:

cutting thick, lush or wet grass which builds up and clumps together under the deck
cutting at a deck level which is too low, causing a build up of grass which can’t be distributed
cutting at a speed which is too fast for the grass to be distributed, therefore causing a build up of grass
hitting a solid object hidden in long grass

Our advice is to check the area you are about to mow thoroughly for any debris before your start, and cut at a steady, slow pace with your deck set at a height suitable for the grass you are about to mow. In the months where the grass is lush or moist, set your deck height higher than normal to avoid build up of heavy grass clumps.
