I like Skunks way of thinking too.
Build something that will give ... but not too wimpy. I think tree roots would shear or the box would jump over it. Mine does that all the time (both). I wouldn't make it so there is a ripper or a plow out there that could get seriously hooked. I'd make it like a box so the side of it would cause it to "jump" over a big root or rock.
Rob I thought you would have built one like that by now.
Tom, LOL ... you are still nuts I see.
Now we get to see how nuts David is. I'm looking forward to it.
My box blade sticks out 6" per side so when tilted I can cut gutters with it.
David, I hope you don't mind me posting these photos in your thread?
They show the kind of gutter you could cut with your boxblade tilted. That is why I suggested making the extension much like the side of the boxblade, only extended out. Like what Skunk was trying to do by offsetting the boxblade mounts. The side wall will keep it from snagging.

That last picture shows a small gutter that I cut last Spring. It's made it's own improvement and keeps water off the road. Even a small gutter will turn into a good one once water starts flowing down it. Water will find the easiest path. The gutter will get cut deeper and wider by erosion. So what I'm saying is you don't really need to build something that will give you a giant gutter. More like something that fits your tractor but still gives water run off a place to go.
