If the tines on your Husqvarna DRT900 tiller are working, but the drive wheels won't move, there are a few potential causes:

Drive belt issue: The drive belt connects the engine to the transmission, which powers the wheels. If the drive belt is loose, damaged, or broken, the wheels won't move.
Transmission issue: If the transmission is damaged or the gears are stripped, the wheels won't move.
Tensioner issue: The tensioner keeps the drive belt tight. If the tensioner is damaged or not adjusted properly, the drive belt can slip, preventing the wheels from moving.
Axle issue: If the axle is bent or damaged, it can prevent the wheels from turning.
Drive chain issue: If your model has a chain drive, check for a broken or loose chain.

To troubleshoot this issue, start by inspecting the drive belt and tensioner for damage or looseness. Check the transmission and axle for damage. Also, check the drive chain if your model has one. If you're not comfortable with the inspection, it's best to take your Husqvarna DRT900 tiller to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
