I'll also brag about my only instance of ingenuity on HEF, though it'd be unnecessary on a skid steer.
Flip over forks on the loader bucket are very difficult to see. I came up with (though I'm sure someone else really thought of it) getting a rear view camera for cars and mounting it to a magnetic monopod camera mount, then sticking it inside the loader bucket and using the monitor to see where your forks are. I find mounting it low works pretty well, like on the inside bottom of the bucket, but anywhere in the bucket, or on top, is much better than nothing. I may upgrade to a second camera at some point that would help see over a forked load. That's the only issue with my camera setup is you have to have a big clear space to set something down because you can't see where it goes. You could, conceivably, leave some space between the load and the loader bucket so you could see through the forks, with the camera, to a mark you have on the floor or something, but that hasn't been an issue for me.
