I bought a QD SS plate and welded some home-made "high forks" enabling my loader to lift up to about 15 feet high or so. The "forks" are made about 5 feet long and are 3/16" tubing about 2 x 3" with some gussets at the point where they connect to the uprights. You gotta have your whits about you when you operate like this (done wrong you could twist your loader or tip your tractor)......but it makes a good means to move box blinds on LEVEL property.
Always be ready to set it down!....pretty much like any high "unwieldily" load. I've got fluid in my tires and reasonable ballast to keep the rears on the ground. I suppose my blinds could weigh as much as 1000 lbs.....but lotsa leverage at those heights. I've moved about six blinds after logging my property and will move a few more as time permits. Makes short work of it. I think I have about $150 invested in the whole deal.....and it's been worth every penny to me.
