Husqvarna zero turn engine bogs down with blades engaged

SOURCE: Cub cadet Z Force 48 inch zero turn blades won't engage

I hope this will help you...under the side panels on each side of the mower, there are "reverse lockout safety switches", they are supposed to stop the blades when both handles are pulled back. If one or both of the switches are out, the deck will not engage. Also, under the right side panel (when sitting on seat) there should be 3 relay switches, the one closest to the motor controls the PTO., if this is out, the PTO will not engage.

I have a Husqvarna GTH2548 and the blades will not engage. It is free from all debrie

The PTO switch contacts to operate the clutch that starts the blades is defective. I have replaced mine and the new one just failed again. Sears must know this is a defect problem but so far they are quiet about the problem

SOURCE: husqvarna zero turn runs great but after about 30 mins the blades stop turning

when this happens you need to see if it you loose power to the clutch to see if the clutch is failing or the circuit feeding it power

Hi, check or replace the switch on the seat, basically its not telling the safety system that you are on the seat. Regards Phil.
