I have never owned that model but I own and have owned several brands/models of rough cut rotary mowers. All have various advantages and disadvantages.
In general, rough cut mowers will cut better with sharp blades (yes, I know not recommended, but sharp blades do cut better), adequate blade tip speed and reasonable ground speed.
Most will leave some where the tractor wheels push the grass over, especially on the left side as the blade is moving rearward on the left. This will likely be more pronounced with a pull type mower due to the additional mower wheels.
Sharpen and/or replace the blades, set the mower as close to the ground as possible, keep the blade speed up and the ground speed down to minimize such. Overlaping a bit on the next round will usually eliminate the tracks.
