Back in the "old" days Meyer made a plow hitch that was "universsal" fit for tractors. The plow hitch part was the same as used on truck mount plows. You cut and drilled the irons to fit your tractor. Then you could use either the Meyer hydraulic unit or tractor hydraulics to raise the blade.
Possibly you could find a truck mount for your truck and another to put on your tractor, then the blade would have minimal work to exchange between vehicles.
There is one problem that could happen with using angle on a tractor--truck lift units have a relief valve on the angle circuit. If you hit something on the extreme end of the blade there is a lot of force tranmitted thru the frame and into thr hydraulic angle circuit. It can cause a lot of damage quickly. If you use tractor hydraulics for angling be sure to install a relief valve in the angle circuit to prevent damage.
