Best place to buy 5' box blade

Is there a benefit to having 5 ripper teeth as opposed to 4,, seems like more teeth the better to break up the ground , although I have mostly clay and rock so either way it's gonna be a tough go

In theory, yes, but you must consider the tractor.
The reason we put 4 in the box blades for smaller tractors is to increase the chances of a lightweight tractor to rip through the ground with them.

Backwards. Five teeth have more float than four teeth. Five teeth will more evenly scar ground but four teeth will penetrate tough ground deeper.

(Same way that a Disc Harrow with 9" spacing between pans penetrates deeper than a Disc Harrow with 7" spacing between pans.)

I have a Titan box blade (Titan 5' Box Blade Tractor Attachment Category 1 Cat Scarifier Shank Teeth), although I have the six footer, which has been very useful, although at times it needs a sandbag or two on very hard ground. With my FEL on one end and this on the other, I cleaned out the sand and rocks from the "hole" where a neighbor's above-ground pool lived just a couple of weeks ago. They had sand under it, and rocks (two to five inch) all around it. I was able to stay in the hole, drag the rocks to the middle, bucket them out, without needlessly harming any grass.
Edit: mine has six scarifiers, but you can raise up any or all as needed for harder ground.

Avoid tractor supply - their implements are glorified popcans. Get a brand name like Land Pride or Farm King.

Yeah I believe the everything attachments box blade is same price or cheaper and I'm sure much better built, so I will probably end up going that route,

I have a Bush Hog brand 60" box blade that I love...it is perfectly matched for my B1700...4 scarifiers...

If I was in the market for a box blade the one thing I would look for that is different than what I have...is a design that is favorable to one day converting/modifying it to hydraulic rippers...
