Make sure that the engine is running at full speed, or the blades may choke the engine down. Also check the blades (with the engine stopped) to see if something is causing them not to rotate. The Cub may also have safety switches, if one goes bad then the motor could die as a safety feature( it thinks you fell off, the parking brake isn't engaged, etc..) Different Cubs have different safety switch configurations.

The hourglass flashing on your LT 1050 Cub Cadet typically indicates that the mower's safety features are engaged or that there is a system alert. This could be related to issues such as the seat safety switch being activated, the blades not being engaged, or an error in the electrical system. Refer to the owner's manual for specific guidance on troubleshooting the issue associated with the flashing hourglass.
I have a 2003 Cub Cadet 1525. This model is designed to shut off the cutting deck when the tractor is put into reverse. Not sure what model you have but my guess is that it's just a safety precation like the Cub.
