I have two flail mowers, Ford and JD, both only have one belt and all I know is not all belts are made the same. I was buying belts from R&R mowers and they barely lasted a full mowing season. When I got the JD mower I wanted to start with a new belt so I ordered one from a JD dealer to make sure I got the correct one. Discovered the belts between the two mowers were the same so threw the old belt off the JD on the Ford, two years later both belts look just like they did when I put them on.
The idler pulley on both flail mowers forces the belt to bend inwards, the R&R belts would start cracking and loosing rubber in chunks only leaving the outer part of the belt. Was getting ready to try a notched belt thinking the reverse bend at the idler pulley was the issue but the JD belts seemed to have solved the problem.
