Are my bands wore out?

[cervin]

How do I know if my bands are worn out... Do I have to breakdown my T-20?
A couple weeks ago I mistakenly left my brake on and traveled about 1/4 mile before realizing it. Then a couple days ago I tried to climb a short steep hill and didnt make it without a run at it. I cant tell if it is the drive belt or the bands.

This is my first AATV. 2000 Max 4 with 25hp Kohler.

Leaving the brake on did not help, but start by adjusting the plungers and see if that helps. Search the t20 threads for proper adjustment.
