Description
Overview:
The Stihl V-belt (OEM 6012 704 2100) is a genuine replacement belt designed for the GB 460 and GB 460 C garden shredder range. Made from an oil- and heat-resistant rubber compound with high‐tensile reinforcement cords, it links drive pulleys to transmit power efficiently and reliably. Its precise V profile maintains grip and reduces slip, helping the machine deliver consistent cutting performance under load. Suitable for garden and light site machinery that uses this specification, the belt restores factory operation where the original has worn, stretched, or cracked. Built for regular service environments, it supports smooth running, stable tension, and reduced vibration, helping extend the life of pulleys and bearings while keeping your Stihl equipment working as intended.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM part for assured compatibility and fit on listed models
- Durable rubber compound with reinforced cords for long service life in tough conditions
- Precise V section for strong grip, efficient torque transfer, and low slip under load
- Heat, oil, and abrasion resistance suited to outdoor and dusty environments
- Stable belt length to minimise re-tensioning and maintain consistent performance
- Smooth running to help reduce vibration and wear on adjacent components
- Manufactured to Stihl tolerances for straightforward installation with standard tools
- Reliable power delivery to keep cutter/impeller systems operating correctly
- Ideal maintenance replacement to restore drive performance and reduce downtime
Typical Applications:
Power transmission between the engine and driven assemblies on Stihl GB 460 series garden shredders. Commonly used to drive the cutter drum or impeller via matched pulleys, maintaining feed and cutting performance. Suitable where the machine specifies OEM 6012 704 2100 and equivalent references for routine servicing or repair after belt wear, glazing, cracking, or loss of tension.
Also known as:
Vee belt, pulley belt, transmission belt, power belt, machine belt, fan belt, V drive belt. These terms are often used for belts that transfer power between pulleys in small engines and machinery where a V-section profile is required for efficient, low-slip operation.
