Is the tractor moving slow or are the blades moving slowly? The belt on the mower blades may be slipping. If the tractor is moving slowly look to see if the transmission needs fluid.
I have the same machine, [pull plug wire for safety] tip machine on it's side, next remove blade, now remove all the plastic shields that are above blade right to the deck bottom. You wont believe the grass build up around blade shaft. On this machine as you select your speed the pulley travels on shaft, but with the grass build up the pulley can't move. I've done mine twice now in the last 4 years. You'll need around 3 hours, good luck it's not that bad.
there is generally a clutch for the blades, made with a spring loaded pulley or electrical device. when you move the lever (pulley type) or move the switch (electrical type) it engages the belt which drives the blades. You have a problem there and someone with mechanical skills needs to look at it and repair it. I suspect a spring loaded pulley type, it sounds like someone took the belt off and put it back on wrong. There is no magic button to fix this.
The wheels are adjusted too low causing the mower to cut the lawn very short. This will cause the blade to jam and eventually stall. Adjust the wheels so the deck is higher off the lawn and try again.
Im assuming the tractor is a hydrostatic, in this case when the transmission starts to go...thats it, call the company and find a replacment or get another tractor. unfortunately rebuilding them isnt all that worth it
