Hey guys first off don't tear me apart too bad lol. My machine just has over 3 hours on it. Went for a small ride on pavement yesterday. Pulling outta my rode is a steep left hand turn onto a 2 lane road. So had it in low gear and to quickly get off the road I drove down a small ways in low between 4-5k rpm doin 20-30mph. I know in those speeds I should be in high but with fresh belt and tight steep turn didn't wanna burn belt. Was surprised it's able to go so fast in low. My ranger would never touch that. With those speed and rpms in low was that hurtful in any way to break in process? Was informed by somone I could stretch the belt

Not going to hurt a thing. Just stay under half throttle and constantly vary the rpm and speed to work the belt into the sheeves. Be gentle the first 25 hours, change all fluids then stand on it!!
+1, that RPM range and speed isn't going to hurt anything for a short time (a few minutes).
Turbo models are geared way differently than Rangers.
BTW, belt stretching is not really a thing. Belts overheat and the bindings that hold them together break down when they are abused. When belts get extremely old, material gets worn away so they're narrower than they were and therefore don't run at the same height on the clutch sheaves, or start to slip. Never heard of a CVT belt stretching.
