Default Not alot of "throw" from my snowthower

Gentlemen;

Got to use my QA42 snowthrower on the 125 today for the first time. Maybe 6 inches of powdery snow, not the heavy wet kind....It came out of the chute with maybe a 2 to 3 foot throw....just cleared the width of the tractor, in big drifts, it bogged down and stopped. I slowed down to a crawl and that helped... but still seemed to stall and stop turning.

I totally rebuilt the thrower this summer...everything spins free, and when you engage it, it looks like its really gonna throw the stuff...but it doesn't....it doesn't look like its losing rpm in the snow, except till you get to the big drifts. Belt is new and tight, i'm at a loss....PTO ran the mower just fine this summer, so i think the PTO is adjusted properly...
Any suggestions? I'm at a loss.....
