I have a cub cadet LT1042 and it is 3 years old...we have replaced the pto 2 times and replaced the belt 7 times what is the deal
You have to have something rubbing under there that isn't supposed to be, crawl under the tractor and watch the belt go around by hand, if you can turn it. Maybe see what is frozen up, in the wrong place, Gotta be a belt guide is rubbing or a pulley is not spinning. The PTO should last 20 years, all i can think is they got it too tight to start, .010" min, that is tight, and you must be in Florida picking up a lot of sand? If it was under any kind of warranty, I would raise a big stink about it. Those PTO's are not cheap. And the belt has got to be $20. I wouldn't go to a dealer for the belt, unless it is really special, just match it up at the auto parts store, for half the price of dealer. Hope this helps.
