There are a few potential reasons why your Kawasaki engine on your Husqvarna P-ZT 54 may be losing power when the blades engage. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:
Low engine speed: If the engine speed is too low, it may not be able to power the blades effectively. Try increasing the engine speed by adjusting the throttle.
Dull blades: Dull blades can put extra strain on the engine, causing it to lose power when the blades engage. Sharpen or replace the blades as necessary.
Belt tension: If the belt that drives the blades is loose or worn, it may slip when the blades engage, causing the engine to lose power. Check the belt tension and replace the belt if necessary.
Dirty air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict the airflow to the engine, causing it to lose power. Check and clean or replace the air filter as necessary.
Fuel issues: If the engine is not getting enough fuel, it may lose power when the blades engage. Check the fuel filter and make sure the fuel tank is clean and free of debris.
If none of these solutions work, it may be best to have a professional mechanic take a look at your mower to diagnose and fix the problem.
If you are sitting on the tractor seat and the engine stalls when engaging the PTO mover blades I would check the switch under the seat.
This seat has a saftey switch to assure that the operator is in a safe location before engaging the the blades. Also if the blades are engaged and the operator leaves the seat the blades will stop. If a young rider with insufficient weight the blades will not engage.
If it starts ok, the battery should be ok. The battery doesn't drive the mower, the gasoline engine that the starter works to start.
Do you have an owner's manual? see the troubleshooting section.

My guess is not enough fuel flowing to the engine due to a bad
governor (air blade from the cooling blower, or it's connections maladjusted. Otherwise, engague the clutch slowly. try not to engage blades at the same time.
Micro switches will just stop the engine if the blades are engaged and the operator leaves the seat, or will stop the engine cranking if the blades are engaged, it will not stop the blades from engaging.
Normally I believe this mower to have a Kawasaki engine, and the main jet and 'pilot air hole' need to be cleaned. You are running a lean condition, and when the blade is engaged, the engine does not have enough fuel to continue the extra load. A small test for this is to engage the blade and the choke at the same time. If the engine has enough fuel to continue running and engage the blade, this confirms the lean fuel condition. Cleaning those jets will solve the issue.
