If I'm scooping dirt off a pile that has set a while and isn't fluffed up anymore, I'll engage 4wd while filling the bucket then disengage 4wd for travel if I'm going very far and the ground is dry. That's a pain on a mechanically shifted gear tractor, but worth taking the time to do. That is some idea of how useful 4wd is for FEL work.
I get more in the bucket, it saves wear and tear on the clutch.
