Blade Drive Belt Flipping Off And Shredding.

I purchased a Cub Cadet GTX2100, 54" deck and paid $5,000.00 for it. It has only 20 hours of grass cutting on it when twice I had to replace the blade drive belt that keeps flipping off and shredding. This is pretty messing where I had to carefully pick and clean out tiny bits and pieces of  rubber from the pulley. I had to go to and from the dealer twice where I purchased the Cadet from, come home and replace it. I am on my third belt. When I went back to the dealer to purchase the third belt and told them I wanted a new Cadet something is wrong with this machine. I was politely told the belt was not warranted. I told them it was not the belt problem it was the machine's problem and I don't know why it keeps happening. I was then escorded to the door and told to bring the Cadet in and they would service it and adjust the carburetor. They said nothing about the belt flipping off twice. I want to trade this lemon off and buy something better. Is there a service bullentin on the blade drive belt having this problem or is it just the one I bought? How can I get the dealer to acknowledge me on this belt being purchased twice and flipping off. These belts aren't cheap. I just spent $5,000.00. Do I need help with this problem? I am 73 years old and I feel like I have a lemon or a bad problem the dealer is not wanting to address with me. I am going back tomorrow and see if I can trade this tractor off for a better machine. Thank you

i had this same problem.  Believe it or not it was a flat spot on the other belt coming off the pto.  It was causing the deck to vibrate.  Once I replaced the pto belt, the deck was much smoother and stopped throwing off the deck belt.
