I think I broke my parents ride-on lawnmower?

    my mam asked me to clear an area that was totally overgrown down our back.

    I came across these 3 really heavy long pallets that were starting to rot.

    I couldnt pull them out so decided to tie them to the back of the ride on lawn mower, i got two of them out but on the third the mower wouldnt move, it will turn on but when you accelerate it wont move.

    Any ideas what could be wrong?? its only two years old hope I havnt done serious damage to it..

    Cheers

    is it making any peculiar noises when you try and move?

    perhaps you have burnt the belt?

    no real noises when you push down the accelerator nothing happens maybe a slight increase in rev, both in forward or reverse.

    dont know how im going to move it know either its stuck down the back..

    burnt the belt maybe? big job?

    Can't help you any more, you will need to own up and get it checked out.

    you will probably need a trailer to move it unless the repair man can collect.

    I fix electronic stuff and I find that it helps other people (trying to help you) if you take a video of it on your phone and upload it to youtube or vimeo.. Why not do that?

    Could be your diff, ride ons don't like pulling stuff. They aren't mini tractors despite looking like one.
    Is it a hydrostatic or manual?
