yeah same here on reed grass. i mow it west to east and come back empty every round, it's that or nothing gets done and i have to open the windrow deflectors wide or everything plugs up. some smaller areas in around the trees it's not blown down like that so it cuts normal. my neighbor can do it with their 12' caseih sickle type self propelled mower, that has a tine reel to comb it out before it's cut.

looks like the grass is beded down, when mowing into it the grass maybe getting into the flail before it's cut . I had that problem with tall fescue several years ago. It would literally bogg the tractor down.

Are you going to be cutting this piece of ground this year? Might be some of the highest yielding in a drought. I would sure appreciate a quarter of that right now.

It's not hard to kill at all: let cattle graze it - they'll graze it out in two seasons because it's nutritious and delicious ;)

can you go kind of perpendicular to the way you are going currently? I know in harvesting downed wheat and swathing peas back in the day, if there was a big downed patch, I would not go either straight into the down direction or completely opposite of it, kind of sideways worked better. not best for baling i suppose. not done enough baling to care which way my windrows went

I've never had an issue while cutting any grass let alone reed canary, it's a huge a mount of volume and your doing something wrong, I love the stuff grows 8ft leaves out no matter what, second crop is soft all my animals eat it r healthy, been baling it for 50 years, made me tons of money, you are running at the wrong height /rpm/blades or something
