The reason why you are going through deck belts is the mulch kit. I would take the mulch kit off and get a qwikechute
@stiehllandscaping9768 Жыл бұрын
I installed the mulch kit this fall, I went through 4 belts before I had the mulch kit put on
Agreed. The other thing is grease. I’ve come to realize you can not grease the decks enough.

I bought the Echo CS 310 chainsaw and HC-2020 Hedge trimmer to test them and I will say everything Echo is great.

Belt eater definitely isn't great. Have you checked the pulleys for wobble, or run the belt channels for dents or other abnormalities? Or make sure it's not rubbing against anything along its path. If the engine is underpowered, maybe it needs to be checked out. Could be related to the belt issue.
