Test Mower in Brush and Encounter Second Breakdown

What happens here

After the pulley replacement, the presenter takes the Ventrac out to a heavily overgrown area of brush, briars, and multiflora rose that hasn't been maintained for several years. He starts the brush clearing operation. The machine performs well initially, cutting through dense vegetation. However, due to the extreme load, the primary PTO belt (which drives the mower deck from the tractor's engine) snaps. This necessitates a second, on-site repair.

Goal: Initiate brush clearing with the repaired mower and identify any further mechanical issues under load.
