2012 argo 6x6 briggs and straton engine

two years ago: Argo hiccuped (paused) continued running. Then, two days later ran fine for the two miles where we park our car. We went shopping. When back at the Argo it started but had no power. Wouldn't go forward but would go slowly backwards. Winched it onto a trailer and took it for repair. First shop couldn't find the problem. Took it six hour drive to Argo dealer. Said that 'there was a push rod problem.' After repair it ran but a few months later developed an oil leak. Back to dealer. Fixed leak but engine had loud rattle that wasn't there before.

Now a year after leak repair. Argo hiccuped two days ago. Then last night leaving neighbors after a visit engine started but no power forward, would go in reverse. Finally got it to go slowly forward. Down hill quarter mile home. stopped on level and it wouldn't go forward. Now we have it two miles from where road is plowed and where our car is parked. The first half-mile is up hill. Wondering if i can back it all the two miles to the car.

Help. We are in our seventies. The argo is our life line. Your thoughts?
