Where did you purchase the mower from?

Usually this is because the brakes are trying to stop the pulleys while the belt is still trying to drive them
One foot on a bake the other on the accelerator doesn't make for a smooth ride.

Worn beake pads ans loose bearings also give rise to similar vibrations.

If only a month old I would be getting the dealer to look at it as they have a 3 yr bumper to bumper warranty at Lowe's site I just looked at.
