I googled the hell out of this with no success:
I have purchased a 2021 hrx217 second hand, low hours so I don't know how it's been treated previously.
I recently started having issues with the blades slipping when under bugger all strain and on dry grass. I inspected the blade belt and it appears tight. It has got worse and worse over the past 4 mows until now it's almost impossible to mow my lawn.

What is the most common issue here- Blade brake clutch or belt? There is no info on the clutch but people mention the belt a lot. Belt seems tight though.

Belt is for ground drive
Blades go through a clutch if this is a USA or Canadian model .
Clutches do wear , need adjusting but not my bag as down here we have direct drive with no clutch .
