To hang your deer from during hunting season.
To save your back lifting heavy items out of the pickup.
And all previously mentioned.

The FEL also gives you a nice platform to gut out a deer so you do not have to bend over(for old guys), also helps in skinning and cutting up deer. The cutting edge of my bucket go up 8+ feet.

Ha, I should have read this about six months ago! As the first post stated --use to raise the front end up to change tire-- I suppose that would have been easier than rolling a 3 ton floor jack about 300 yards into the woods and down a hill to remove the front tire and take to get repaired. I knew it would lift the front end but for some reason, PO'd? I didnt think of it.

Having your wife hoist you up so you can change the flood lights on the side of the barn.

For the OSHA police -- I added an 8" plate to the top edge of the bucket, so it hits you right about butt high and you can lean into the bucket and use the supporting pipes for a handhold.
