Spent $600 on a power trowel attachment and it made my finish worse

Bought this Stow brand attachment for my walk-behind last month thinking it'd speed up my big warehouse floor jobs. First use on a 10,000 sq ft pour and it left swirl marks everywhere. Had to come back with a hand float and fix half of it. Total waste of money and time. Anyone else have bad luck with those bolt-on power trowel kits?

Ugh that sucks, switching to a lighter pan helped me a ton.

Oh yeah switching to a lighter one made a huge difference for me too.

Wait, you mean you were using a heavier pan before? How much of a difference did it really make?
