Pay no attention to Deerly D. Parted. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Yes, the horsepower is limited, but it's perfectly usable and very satisfying if you work within the limitations instead of expecting the tractor to cut like a Dixie Chopper, and whining about them.

If your pulley is 9", it's way too big. Both of mine are in the 6" range. What's happening is that you're trying to run the mower way too fast, and the engine just doesn't have enough power to do it. It's akin to trying to mow in 3rd, even with the right pulley. You just don't have the power to go that fast.

I bet your engine isn't coming up to full speed with the mower engaged, is it? The engine is lugging badly just sitting there running the mower, right?

Will the engine go up to full RPM (1800) when you rev it?

Also make sure that your deck isn't off of a tractor with a conventional PTO, as the others suggest. If so, you're beating the grass into submission with blunt clubs instead of cutting it... That'll eat up a bunch of power for sure.
