A. Either the clutch mechanism or the drive belts are slipping. Check the belts for proper tension. Check the condition of the clutch facings and make sure that the springs and shoulder bolts on the pressure plate are tight. In certain conditions, such as very hard clay soils, you should push more slowly and let the machine cut at a slower rate.
