Description
Overview:
The V-Belt for Stihl VH 540 and VH 500 tillers is a genuine Stihl drive belt designed to transmit power efficiently from the engine to the transmission and tines. Built from a durable rubber compound with cord reinforcement, it provides reliable grip in the pulley grooves while resisting wear from dust, moisture, and light oil. Its standard V-profile helps minimise slip and maintain correct tine speed under load, supporting smooth soil cultivation and consistent performance. Suited to compact rotary tillers used in gardens, allotments, and light commercial tasks, this black V-belt is a direct replacement for worn or stretched belts that cause loss of drive. It is an OEM-match component for Stihl VH 500 and VH 540 models, helping keep your machine operating as intended.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for assured fit, performance, and compatibility with the specified models
- Robust rubber construction with tensile cord reinforcement for long service life
- Positive V-profile grip for efficient power transfer and reduced slip
- Helps restore correct tine speed and smooth forward drive
- Resists cracking and glazing from heat and typical garden use
- Stable performance under variable loads and soil conditions
- Direct replacement; straightforward to fit and tension with basic tools
- Supports reliable starting, steady operation, and lower belt noise
- Suitable for routine maintenance schedules to prevent unexpected downtime
- OEM quality control to match Stihl standards and pulley geometry
Typical Applications:
Routine replacement of a worn, stretched, cracked, or glazed drive belt on Stihl VH series tillers used for soil preparation, bed forming, allotment work, landscaping, and small-scale ground care. Ideal for restoring lost drive where the machine slips under load, struggles to maintain tine speed, or exhibits intermittent transmission engagement.
