ORIGINAL: BUSHHOG I said I was out and meant it, however, it's hard not to try to help you. First let me say NOTHING stops belt slippage on the Brute completely everytime. Way, way to many varibles, ie: heavy thumbs, high range mud use, worn belts, belts out of proper alignment/deflection, poor driver skills, high gearing on the Brute combined with a bunch of low end torque, etc. That's just the way it is on the V-2 Kawi's and Cats. What you must do is have the belt installed correctly along with our kit designed for extreme duty use and make sure you operate the ATV with a little common since. With any "monster" tires, not just 29.5's, this is is the best set up we know about. Guys I've said all I know to say. Re-read my post, because it provides the answers we have for a correct custom clutch set-up. As a last reminder, the belt MUST be installed dead on the money and kept fresh for the clutch kit to have a change to stop or lower occurance of belt slippage. Then the rest is left up to how you operate your unit. Thank YOU!!!!!!! I have been saying this for 2 years. We get new people all the time on here and sometimes we get post jet lag. If Trapper, Polaris425 or Scribner would add this to the clutch post "how to tighten the belt" and people will read it and truely beleive that we are not BS'ing them, then they will have some awesome riding BF's out there. Anyone can add springs and weights, but if the belt is not in deflection or is in bad shape and the sheaves or in bad shape from burning previous belts, the BF, Prarie etc is still gonna run like crap. I let my service dept. install my first clutch kit and thought I would have the best clutch kit because it was HL's and professionals installed it. Boy was I wrong. The clutch kit was awesome, just the individual installing it had no clue what he was doing. I sat down with the service manual and picked KOD's brain and a few others on here and learned "ON Here" how to properly install a clutch, clean the sheaves and check deflection. I have had 0 problems since. What you guys/gals need to understand about what Bushhog is telling you is that they did all the trial and error testing. They ran the test with different springs and weights. What they have to offer is the best setup for 29.5's and less. What we "members" on the forum have to offer is experience with different setups in different types of situations we have experienced ourselves. We have tried there products over the years and when the 29.5's came out, they realized they needed something better in the clutch dept. They went back and tested somemore and came out with the Extreme clutch kit. It works for 29.5's. I can tell you from first hand experience. Alot of the information people seek out everyday is already on here if you just look in the obvious places or do a search. Have a good BF day.
