I re-roofed my house using my Fel to place the materials on the roof. Having my son operate the tractor, I also painted the trim of my house. Essentially a mobile scaffold. I haul firewood, tow my splitter, trailer, dig, use it as a lift to trim lower to mid branches on trees. Without the Fel, I would have half a tractor...

Would not need the tractor without the FEL. Us it for feeding the burn pile. Moving wood and brush. Carrying the mower deck. Snow, dirt, rock.

You can use it to install / remove a building extension.

Couple of years ago, we used ours to haul water from one of our ponds to extinguish a field fire.

You guys pretty much have touched on everything that I have used my FEL for. Thanks for some interesting posts.

Putting in a 16x7 pipe cattle guard.

Used my FEL to put up and brace a ladder on the roof (45 degree pitch is a PITA to work on otherwise) while I went up it to clean the chimney.

Also used it to unload my lathe from the back of a truck and move it into the building.

Used the FEL and the ROPS to hold the scaffold plank for repair of facia board.

Another use was to set four 16' 6x6 treated poles in dug holes when working alone.

First tested out some rigging using a short post. Then as it appeared to work well, strapped down the 16' at a height that allowed room under the tractor for the butt end and also distance up to be able to set the pole in the hole. Worked well, without a hitch.
