I'm pretty much a "real tractor" neophyte and am having a problem with my new (1.4 hour) NH TZ24DA tractor and the 54 inch mower. The tractor runs great and has plenty of power, what happens is when I get into enough grass to load the mower a little bit the blades slow down and will stop eventually if you keep moving. If you stop the tractor they come back up to speed. The engine itself is not slowing under the load and doesn't sound like it is even working. The belt is not slipping-no noise or smoke. It seems the PTO is slowing under the load. Is the PTO hydraulically driven-or is it a direct clutch type setup? The grass I am cutting is not that deep and would not even challenge the old Ariens I have been using. The tractor is under warranty so I'm a little disappointed but not worried-just looking for some input from you guys with the experience.
