My XG850 side kick has experience 4 major CVT belt failures in the 600 hours I have owned it. The first occurred at 300 hrs, the second at 350 hours, the third at 450 hrs and the last at 600.
In every case Kubota said it was due to a faulty CVT belt drive part.

Yes, we use the unit on our ranch. Its dusty and dirty conditions. Sometimes in below freezing weather. We treat it no differently the we do our Polaris side by sides, and have no issues with their CVT belts.

Is this normal and typical of a side kick?
