The augers on the Cub Cadet aren't built anywhere near as strongly as they should be and there is only one belt from the engine to the impeller--there should be two.

Hydrostatic transmissions are awesome!
Just make sure you throw on a descent battery maintainer (not a so-called float charger) to keep that battery in top shape.
