I own one of these as well. Have most of 900 hours showing on the clock. When we first bought our acreage it was our only "tractor" so it spent MUCH time pulling a cart/mowing/moving pretty much anything until I purchased a real tractor. Have been really pleasantly surprised at how well it has lasted for a consumer piece of equipment.
To your issue, it does sound like the drive belts. I have changed ours twice (also took it to the shop for a change once), the procedure in the manual works pretty well. I would go ahead and change both belts since you are into it, but it is probably the longer lower drive belt that is the problem. Buy both belts and take one back if you decide the installed one is OK. Procedure probably took me 2 hours the first time, much quicker the second. I now like to raise the left rear wheel ~8-10 inches to make it easier to work under the tractor fishing the belt through. Also while belts are off set tractor back on ground and spin large pulley with shifter in both forward and reverse to verify that the trans-axle is moving the tractor smoothly.
