Mower blades not rotating when engaging PTO

Hello there,

I bought my Ariens Ikon X about one year ago. Last month, the blades began to lose power at times during operation and now they don’t even rotate when power is supplied. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Hi Flint,

Since you mentioned that you noticed an occasional drop in power while mowing since the last month, it could be that there’s something blocking your clutch system – I would recommend thoroughly inspecting the clutch mechanism and replacing if required. If this isn’t what’s causing your problem, check the drive belts and idler pulley.
