Rafael, pretty tough to diagnose a problem if you don't know what it is your working on. Kohler is different from a Briggs, Kawasaki, etc.

What model tractor, which engine, how many hours, how long has it done this, etc...

Some details would be of assistance. Data such as lawn/garden tractor model, engine manufacture, air or water cooled, single or twin cylinder, single or twin barrel carb.
Did the problem appear suddenly or gradual? Is the engine thermostat working? Are you cleaning the plug or replacing it? A weak ignition coil can cause these symptoms too.
A miss adjusted or plugged crankcase breather can cause plug fouling. It's choked not chocked

I would try to find the fuel starvation problem. If it were me I would pull the fuel line at the carb and crank it and see it it is pumping fuel. Check the fuel filter?

Be careful and prepared about starting fires
