I'm looking at the pic showing the blades. That round disc they bolt to is called a stump jumper. This is not a rotary mower, but a light duty brush cutter. Do not expect to see results like a finish mower.
In that pic, I cannot tell if the stump jumper is bent or not. If not straight it can send the unit whirring out of control due to being out of balance. The blades also appear to be hanging quite low. Cannot tell why from the pic. But if that disc is damaged, it needs to be replaced.
As for how it cuts, I do not remember exactly what you plan to cut with it. If saplings/young trees, then that is correct for your needs. If you will cut primarily grasses (especially thinner or really tough grasses), then you will want thinner blades that cut rather than thick that chop/pound. I chose to do an alternative on my deck. I spend MANY hours grinding a nice, long sharp edge on my blades. I kept the weight for getting through brush, but had an edge for all the grasses. It worked great for my needs, but I'll never grind that much again!
Hope to hear one more update from you once you're all done with it.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
