Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Snowblower Wont Move, friction disc, drive wheels

Question
Hello,

I have a yard machine 8HP E610E Snowblower. Sometimes the drive wheels don't have power. If I lift the rear wheels off the ground they spin, but when I set the machine down (add resistance) the machine will not move. Is this a belt issue? Is it an adjustment issue or a DIY repair?

Thanks
Dale
