Cool idea for an offset rear blade

Saw this on Ebay. Unique design, if i didn't already have several blades I would be building a heavier version of this one.

They have been around for a good while. Ours is built under another name but otherwise exactly like these.

It offset, angles and tilts. I guess you would consider it a 6 way blade.

I thought that this one would solve a lot of problems until I realized that it won't tilt. I'd trade those rippers for the ability to extend like that AND tilt the blade when extended.

I have a smaller old fixed rear blade that I tried to tilt using the 3PH adjustments. It worked but it took away my ability to raise the cutter far enough to avoid gouging on turns or dips in the ground, so I don't do that anymore.
