Same here. I use the Gatorback belts on everything here. I used to be a big believer in Goodyear until I ran two sets of their truck tires. Their truck tires are the worst things you can buy. I don't know that the Gatorback is necessarily the best belt, but look at the diagonal cuts in it, I'm sure if another belt was made the same way it would sound just as good. If no one else does, then the Gatorback is good belt to use...as are Goodyear hoses.
