Why does my Ariens Tractor have a loss of power?
An Ariens Tractor experiencing a loss of power can stem from several causes. If you're cutting too much grass or moving too fast, raise the cutting height or reduce your speed. Ensure the throttle isn't in the “CHOKE” position; if it is, adjust the throttle control. Check for any buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower and clean it.
