As a second tractor to your 5,000 pound bare weight Mahindra you may find yourself underwhelmed by the performance of any subcompact tractor, unless mowing a one to two acre yard is your primary application.
When I measure my rear tire width,from outside to outside, total width is 63-64” so would I need a 66” or a 72”?
Your CK2620 has a bare weight of 2,650 pounds, motivated by <25 horsepower.
All things being equal, which they seldom are, a 66" wide Box Blade will amply challenge your tractor.
If your BB is much narrower than your tire spread, and you pull in one alley repeatedly, your tires will soon be up on narrow ledges and the centered BB will not touch the ground.
