What the belt looks like after being damaged usually gives a clue to what is causing the problem.
I would add, to the above, idler spring tension, may be too loose.
Blade impacts and even engine stop/start from high rpm (eg in work, lift bum of seat, engine dies, bum back down, engine suddenly kicks back into life)

Rips and tears causing tails sounds like the belt is rubbing something that is basically cutting the belt. Need to look for shiny areas on the sharp edge of anything that the belt could touch.
