<p>I ordered many belts from them several years ago. The last time
I ordered a new Swather belt from them before a 3 day weekend. I
paid an additional $20 for second day air delivery. It was for a
John Deere and their cost was a fortune. The belt was supposed
to arrive on Thursday before that weekend. On Thursday It did not
arrive. I called on Friday Morning and after 2 hours of their
searching, the shipping clerk had not put the correct sticker on
my package. The belt arrived later the next week and I never was
refunded the charge for the second day air service. We ended up
going to Deere and driving 125 miles one way and paying over $100
for that belt. Our hay was rained on, since it took most of the
day to install the belt we were behind a day. <br>
I refused to do business with them thereafter. <br>
Just my $0.02<br>

run a Woods mower on my Deere M. Have bought quality
belts from a local bearing/belt/etc. supplier for 43 years
now, costs a little more but the quality has been
noticeably better than the occasional belt that I bought
online or from the big box farm supply store. Alas, my
supplier has gone with a cheaper line of belts and they
don’t last at all.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

would folks rank the common V belt lines? I used to get
PIX belts from these folks, they held up OK. Current line
is D&D, I had trouble with that brand before when I
bought online. Dayton used to be the standard belt on the
farm when I was growing up, haven’t seen that brand for
some time now. I’m also seeing Vermeer and Snapper belts
online. I’m not finding Woods belts, maybe I have to go
to the local dealer for that brand?</span><span
