Default Ultramatic vs. other belt drives

Should of looked before posting. So then essentially the New KQ should not have to have the belt changed like people are doing, manual says change it, but to me that is a money racket as they are very pricey compared to the Polaris and Kawi belts.
So the KQ should be getting 5000 miles before really needing a new belt, under normal circumstances. Of course big tires and work loads will decrease this.

Thanks
As far as I know, the KQ should be a suzi style tranny, and there are inspections which can be done on the belt. There is a low limit on the width, and the underside of the belt can be checked for cracks, and wear. If the belt appears good, and measures in tolerance...i wouldnt change it.
