Nice looking blade so far. Some ideas I would consider to "beef up" the blade would be to weld gussets to the 3pt frame and the arm extending to the swivel point. Also, I don't know what the terrain is like where you are planning to clear, but if you catch the corner of the blade on a rock, There is a good chance that you will bend the post at the swivel. I have DESTROYED blades before just because I wasn't careful around that unsuspecting rock sticking up.
