Do you have a garden tractor you can pull it with?

I'll have a ride on mower in the spring, but nothing substantial... just a crappy MTD

The Jeep has the power, traction, and weight... it's just big and not very manuverable.

Build it with a 2" coupler on it then you can pull it with anything that has a trailer hitch. The Traker may be the best since it is small.

Here is a 4 ft landplane I built for my garden tractor, I suspect you could put chains on the top front of the skids with a tow ring and pull it with one of your vehicles. This is a good match for a scut sized tractor. Without the need for the 3ph it should be a quick and easy build.

4' long X 4' wide? Looks good to me. I'll have to acutally pay for one length of C channel. LOL Oh well.

This one is 4' wide with 5' long skids about 420 lbs.

I have a 4' box blade that I use behind my honda foreman. I mainly use it for finish grade in yards and over trenches. It works great as I put the wheels behind it to raise an lower/set grade it but if I get much of a bite it will stop the atv.
For what your doing 4' would be max. Set the blade straight and lay it back at a angle so the material will ride over it.
