Just delivered today. Mows fine in average or sparse grass but bogs down blades in thick grass. Engine shows little sign of strain but the blades are not spinning properly.
Your belt is slipping. Have your dealer fix it.
SOURCE: bog when trying to mow
you are cutting to much grass & it isn't kicking it out fast enough out of deck which will bog it down it might help if you clean out the bottom of the deck & also dont cut really low if grass is really tall also cutting wet grass will aslo cause the bogging if i can further help e-mail me wade at [email protected]
SOURCE: Mower blades engages but when I stop to empty grass they will not
yes it is there is one under the seat & under the dash & there is also one connected to the clutch/ brake peddle which is more than likely the one giving you problems is the clutch/brake peddle switch

You mention many PM issues but do not mention a blade sharpening. I don't get on my ZTR without a freshly honed blade installed. "That's" what cuts bahia grass...the blade. You can put all the horsepower you want behind the lade but if you're trying to cut grass with a 2X4 it rips more than cuts grass.
SOURCE: engine slows down with blades are engaged?
sounds like the blade spindles are binding, many have Zerk fittings to grease them. with belt disengaged try turning the pulleys they should turn easily and have no wobble in them. if either is wrong replace spindle and best to change in sets. this is the most common issue.
Some self-propelled mowers include a speed control, but sometimes it may seem that no matter how you adjust it, the mower just creeps along at a snail's pace. Most likely this isn't a mechanical malfunction, but an adjustment is probably needed.
Very tall or thick grass can bog down a self-propelled mower, but adjusting the height of the blade may allow it to roll through and cut the grass at normal speeds. If the blade is low, the amount of cutting required may slow down the movement of the entire mower. The frame of the mower may also stick in the high grass. Raise the blade little by little until the mower rolls at the appropriate speed. Going up hills may cause a similar response.
It's possible the drive belt on the mower can slip. Inspect this part to see if it is loose or cracked, and replace the belt to restore power.
