Patrick; I've got a blade (rear mount) on my Cub which is a little over ten HP and it moves dirt just fine, if not too much at a time, and it does a great job on spreading gravel for road and driveways. I also have a 16 HP John Deere garden tractor with hydraulics and a front blade that is about 40-42 inches wide. It will push dirt in ditches and move dirt or gravel around some, but to really "spread" the stuff, it works best if I back up with the tractor.
I guess what I'm saying is ....the front blade on tractors that small is far less effective than a rear blade ! I'd say you shouldn't go over four feet in width and perhaps eighteen inches in heighth (curved surface, of course), but your best bet is to find a rear blade, especially if your tractor has "Fast-tach" hydro capability !
Lots of luck,
Jim B.
