This belt is designed to replace a broad set of OEM belts found on RZT-series mowers and related models from popular brands. It is commonly paired with machines in the RZT family and other large-deck configurations, including various Ultima and ZT lines.

- Ultima and ZT1/ZT2 series variations across 42–54–50-inch deck sizes
