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.....

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
