You won’t be happy with a 5’ blade because consider that you should cover your rear wheel tracks even when the blade is angled.R4's. bro tek 3" spacers to be ordered for sure Bro-Tek
Thinking a 5' BB would be better to fit in tight spaces, could go 6' if I could find either that weighed close to 600/700# and not spend $1.5K
May just get a cheap Ballast box and load w/bricks if I can hit the weight (2/3rd's of loader capacity I think)

One thing I wanted was R14's, having loaded R4's gives me pause. Flats don't sound like fun. More "what NOT", given I can't reduce weight when it's not needed being delicate???

Sorry, have more questions than answers ATM.
Great stuff, keep'em coming!!!
I’m trying to think of a reason why I would want to unload my rear tires?Made it about 1/2 way through posts, but. Loaded tires can be good, but they are loaded, and can't be quickly/cheaply unfilled/refilled, so a 6 ft box blade might be a better choice and or wheel wheels.
Since you mentioned slopes and erosion, you can be 100% good on a slope, and a tire hits a fairly minor, hidden, wash out, and go from stable to not very fast. Let's say 15% cross slope, run into a 8" wash out with the down hill tire, and suddenly your at 29%. Not trying to worry you, just be careful.
Depending on your specific use case; compaction.I’m trying to think of a reason why I would want to unload my rear tires?
Maybe you wouldn't, or it might depend on what they are loaded with. Or maybe you got a great deal on wheel weights.I’m trying to think of a reason why I would want to unload my rear tires?

Or for flotation, hard surface traction, softer ride, or just don't wamt so much weight or compaction.
Lots of reasons......
