power steering pump uses

i know a lot of country folk convert their power steering pump as a hydraulic pump to operate bale spikes and such. i don't have a need for that, but it does seem like the power steering pump could be used for a lot of other cool stuff.

just interested to hear people's thoughts and ideas. just bored...no real plans for any projects...yet.

How about a log splitter? Maybe there isn't enough pressure from the pump.

if there was enough power one thing i just though of that would be cool would be to have like 4 cylinders mounted on the corners of the truck (ideally hidden). if/when you needed under your truck, a flip of the switch would raise the whole thing up off the ground.
