I just had a buddy shred a belt on his Ranger and i want to buy a spare to keep on the machine just in case when on the trail. What is the best belt to have? factory? aftermarker? also what tools will i need to keep handy on the machine to change it out in the field?

thanks

Nobody has any opinions?

I would get the Gates belt, you can get it from Hunterworks

Polaris RZR XP 900, Polaris Ranger 800 - Polaris Gates C12 CVT Belts

Carry a BIG pair of channel locks to loosen the belt, unless you have a grip like Hurcules.:glee::encouragement:

Ditto on the Gates C-12 belt. I've been running one on my RZR and it's held up well so far. It's the only belt I've tried that I consider to be as good (maybe better?) than OEM.

OEM, you always know where you can get replacements and they always fit. I typically change my belts at about 1,000 miles and keep the old belt as my spare. If you aren't hill climbing and mudding in high, you should never toast a belt.

Thanks for the info fellas

I agree with the OEM. They have served me well. Not saying Gates won't, but my experience with the OEM Belts has been good. As well said above "you know you are getting the Belt the MFG wanted and can always find a dealer"
