I recently bought an 14 m8000 limited. I need a spare belt. What belt is everybody running? Oem? Aftermarket? Thanks

Gates carbon or the 083 cat belt. The 084 is way overpriced. I've been using the Gates for the past 3 years with great success

Most of our customers run the 0627-084, that said, an -083 should get you out of a bind.

Regardless of what you choose, a well broken in spare belt will serve you much better than a brand new spare.

I run the 084 in both machines, over 1200kms so far on each belt and still like new. I got 600km outta my first 083 before she blew, but deflection and alignment was way outta wack from factory so surprised i got that long outta it on a '12.

I sucked it up and got a 4 pack of 084 belts from Country-Cat in the states awhile back when the dollar was better so still have 2 spares on hand.

083 runs more consistent rpm compared to the 084 but it doesn't last as long. Ps we have a cat only section for the types of posts

Dayco xtx 5046 is on mine waiting to be broke in. Ran Dayco on my 200hp m1000, didn't blow a belt or ever use the 1 Year warranty, so will try on the m8 now
