The blades need inspected and sharpened,one could have a bent tip or just dull,if youve had someone else pull them off and reinsall them already check to make sure one of them isnt installed backwards,dont laugh,Ive seen it happen.

SOURCE: leaving streaks of grass in middle of mower

Your forward speed may be too fast for the mower blades to cut every blade of grass. It may be new, but check the deck to see if there are any dents pushing the quill assemblies up making the deck cut uneven. Or it may have the wrong blades on it.
I have seen this problem in the past with a Gravely mower. The person was trying to cut grass to fast. He sold the unit and the new onwer did not noticed any the problems the old owner described.

SOURCE: deck will not shed the grass

The only way to shred the grass while mowing is to have a pair of mulching blades on your mower, they work, but they wear out fast. They do in Florida anyway with all the sand. And don't for the grass to look a hayfield to mow it. You have to keep at it. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: how do i remove the cutting blades to sharpen them

you could take the mower deck off and do it that way or you could jack the tractor up. i recomend that you use a 1/2 inpact gun or a 1/2 breaker bar
