Hi there bicky.
Could it be that you are expecting too much from this little machine? They are not particularly powerful, and more suited to shallower cultivations , they are definitely not a ‘digging machine’.

But of course the engine could be ‘tired’ and in need of some TLC, difficult to judge without seeing it in action.
