PWM does not rotate motor

Hello, I am an electronics technician and made a circuit to drive a 5A 12V motor. I need it to rotate only for one sense, but I need to control the speed. I'm using PWM for this.
I've done a circuit for that. When the engine is without load, works normaly at high, medium and low speed rotation, but when I place load, the engine at high speed rotates normal, but at medium speed and low the engine stop after 1 second turning.

I am using the IRF3205 Mosfet with a 4427 drive CI.

What may be happening? The engine with load for the medium and low speed.

I am sharing the circuit for you to help me identify the error.

I'm using 150 (high), 65 (medium) and 45 (low) pwm. Is it little for the motor?

My motors don't even start with circuit like that...

Better to use a logic level MOSFET in a circuit like this:

I'm new to Mosfet, does this Logic Level Mosfet work with PWM?

Which model do you indicate to drive a 5A 12V motor?

Yes, most MOSFETs can be used as switches.

Select a logic level MOSFET with rated drain current at least 2X the motor start/stall current.

For a "5A" motor, the start/stall current can be 25A or more, so check or post a link to the motor data sheet.
