I mounted a 5 ft plow on my MT180D tractor.
To assure the push arms were parallel to the ground I made a sub frame and also to keep the blade as close as possible otherwise I'd be pushed sideways.
\The farther ahead the blade is the more side push will happen at lower speeds.
Very satisfied as I do believe that I got it all right.
A tractor by design will plow much slower than a truck so the forces are not the same.
The truck literally blasts (or bounces) the snow off to the side while the tractor shoves it over so the forces are not all the same.
