What's the make & model of your tractor? If this is a garden tractor, it sounds like either the belt on your (I assume) electric clutch is slipping or you have low power to the magnets. If this is a farm tractor, then your pto clutch plate is worn and/or needs replacement/adjustment.
Probably not if its a hydraulic transmission. The first thing to do is fit a new drive belt as this is the most common cause of what appears to be clutch slip.
Sounds like your drive belt is slipping alright. Need to tighten your clutch rod. One end of rod adjust. Have someone help you, move the clutch petal and your helper watch and see rod moves.
If the shifting is easy when the engine is off you have an adjustment to make on the clutching mechanism. if you loosen the belt (the adjustment is under the mower) it should improve the shifting but do not loosen it too much to where the belt begins to slip when in drive.
There is an electrical clutch that drives the belts. This clutch may be worn. Some will have adjustments that will allow it to tighten them up and not slip. Now when your tractor is running and you turn on your blades there is power sent to this clutch, it is mounted on the engine shaft and has flexible metal plate that is pulled into a pulley buy an electro magnet this plate is worn or could be full of grass/dirt. You need a good strong light, with the tractor OFF, get under and look at this clutch, look for grass/dirt or if the metal has changed colors meaning it has gotten very hot. If it has gotten very hot it is time for a new clutch... Sorry if this is the case. Good hunting.
Reading on line, I see your tractor has a PTO clutch. It must be slipping. It either needs adjusted or replaced. A slipping clutch disc will make a bad smell.
