Nice job but the actual blade material looks like only about 15 mm thick and if you hit a rock it may bend. I'd be inclined to add two or three "stiffeners" to prevent that. The forces can be extreme - ask me how I know that - even with a much stronger unit

On pusher blades, snow.
I did make mine for my CUT using some 1/8 plate I had from old industriel work benches.
Had a shop create the curve for me on a big press and made some curved backers.that I welded to the blade.
I then fabricated arms that led back to my CUT and used my FEL arms and chain for the lifting..
I made the blade pivot for when it met with obstructions using coil springs. .
For the lifting I chained the blade to my FEL arms.
Seasonal changeover calls for removing the FEL bucket and naturally later re installing..
Tat was years ago and it still serves me well.
