My tractor is 5' wide and my blade is 7' wide. At maximum angle (30 degrees) it sticks out about 6" past the wheels which is nice.
Just had to try re-posting to see if picture comes up. Seems the consensus is this unit would only be suited to loose soil, with my situation, and potentially end up with a damaged useless blade. The price and width are tempting. Not sure I would be happy with these limitations and think would also like to be able to tilt too.

Do you have and are you handy with a welder??
About $20 worth of scrap peices and that blade could be made indestructible
I don't personally weld, but do have a gentleman that has done some work for me that is very reasonable. He is a retired fabricator/welder and has a very impressive shop set up at his home. This picture shows a tractor very similar to mine and what appears to be a similar blade. How aggravating is it to have to adjust the the three point hitch to get the tilt? Is there enough range to make it effective? For the records, I do not utilize any hydraulic tilts or links. If I could get it for $200 seems tempting.

I would buy it for $200 or the $250 if it isn't bent up allready, seems to be a decent blade as mine is about 12 years old. You could beef it up a little before it gets bent and have a small enough investment to recoup it later if you go larger. Used implements in this price range seem to be easy enough to sell so the risk is minimal imo.
