What belts are you guys running and getting the best performance with, I have a 05 162 PC with a modded 990 Modshop Motor. Running a 020 right now and have been getting ok results but think with a different belt I could do better. I also mostly hillclimb and boondock. Any advise would be great.

Same here, tried the 031. Tons of slipping on take off, back to the 020.
This was my biggest issue as well!
Had great luck with Carlisle xs-802 on my 1150
I to have tried differant belts and returned to the 020. I just works better for me. I also ride a modded sled. I don't think they heat up as bad when boondocking and moving slow through the trees and creek bottoms. Just my 2 cents worth. I usually get a whole season on i belt. Always put a new one on in the begining of the season. Jim

well..I'll go against the grain liking the 031 cat belt. No noteable slippage here.
Did you add any weight? Felt ok after it actually caught, but was pretty bad off the line.
any one ran the 035 belt ??? i ran one and i seamed all right .

I had same results with the 035 that I had with the 031. The hard belts like the 031 and 035 worked good when I was banging big hills all day but when boondocking they would slip. I figured the hard compound held up well to the heat generated on the big pulls but would slip when going slow.

I had the best luck with the 031, but i also went to 72 gram weights.

I think that might be the key, but my thinking was why fix what's not broke. Haven't really had an issue with the 020 belt so far, clutching feels good. Mostly been boondocking since picking up this sled and staying off hills(sketch avy condtions) so maybe once I start getting into steeper terrain i'll notice an issue.
Been running the 049 belt... Seems to work really well. It is a tick wider so it rides up alittle highter in the back clutch.

I would really like to thank everyone for their input on this. Will probably stay with the 020 but might try a few others just to see. Thanks again
Have a 031 with one ride on it for 50.00 shipped if you want it.
