OK, here's an off the wall one. It works great for pulling kids on a sled or tube in the snow! You can really whip them around and they have a blast. Yes, you have to be careful.
Since I have a New Holland "Boomer", I have to have a boom pole, right?
I haven't done it yet, but I plan on using mine to pull engines. Also, the long reach as stated earlier is handy. I've used it to move things around and it will reach farther out than a front end loader.
