Argo Drive Belt Life

[thorn]

How long do these belts (on average) seem to last. I know there are a lot of varibles from machine to machine and how they are used, but I am curious what all you guys are getting out of them. I am running an 2004 Conquest. Threw in a couple of photos for fun.DSCF0429.jpgP1010337.jpg

Again as you have said variables myself I get 4 to 5 hundred hours for sure on a Argo HD belt before it gets a tad narrow,that towing/ plowing with tracks,I have had a couple shred on me sooner but they were the non HD ones and I find that it was all about heat towing loads in the summer or non stop plowing in the winter so from time to time while doing both I stop and shift to neutral and let it free wheel for a while and let things cool off and then continue on it stretches belt life and in the real hot summer heat I run with the hood off.NCT
