    At what speed do you have your tractor units set? I am sure you checked this, but in the past we have had to slow our units down (almost to a painful speed) and cut them at a 3-9 pattern. Took 3-4 mowings but worked out of it. We then adjusted the speed up slightly so that the reels would not bounce like before. 5-5.5 mph is what our speed is set at now. It worked for us.

    I've also found that if your rollers turn to hard it will cause them to bounce along. Sometimes a good grease job or new bearings can help work it out as well. But I also agree speed can be a problem.

    A good circle cut would help.
