Engine revs, quad never goes faster than 10mph??

This is a JD Buck but thanks to The Googles I have discovered it is just a Bombardier Traxter with JD stickers on it.
I cannot find a single dealer or service shop in my area that will touch this so I am hoping to get some advice before I decide if this thing is scrap or repairable.

So I thought it would be fun to ride around in the snow.. Well after about 15 mins I noticed that the engine was reving way higher than the speed warranted.

I can put it into HL and R but it just barely crawled. I assume I burnt something out inside the transmission but the few people that I could get to even talk to me at local shops gave me horror stories about how it's going to cost more to repair than buy a new quad.

Now that it has sat the rest of the winter..
So, at this point it won't start, the starter just whirs, so time for new starter?

Once I can get it started, what can I look at to maybe repair this? Is there a trans rebuild kit? Are there maybe just some shredded belts or something inside the tranny?

Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated, if I can fix this for a couple hundred, or less, it will deff be cheaper than buying a whole new quad.

I would start by removing the big cover on the left side to check the condition of the clutches and belt. Most likely the belt is toast.

When the belt gets wet they will do the same thing but in this case you proly just burnt your belt.
