I have just been blessed with another load of 30 pallets.  I have used them for goat feeders, shelters, keeping hay and feed off the ground, and gates.  Are there any uses I am overlooking?

I am trying to rig up a couple to rest my tractor rear implements so as to keep them off the ground when not in use.

BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE PALLETS:

If they have an imprint saying  HT, PCP-HT, FCC-HT or KD they are fine to use.
If they have an imprint saing MB they have been treated with Methyl Bromide
and are therefore poisonous and should not be used for anything.

My number one use is as raised lasagna beds.
I used to split them in half and build one 4x4 ish bed out of two pallets and 8 deck screws..
Now I use 4 pallets and  cut the deck boards off of half of each one.
This leaves 2 feet of 2x4 sticking up, useful for holding trellising or plastic or frost blankets.
I use the removed boards elsewhere.

I just built some nice lumber racks out of pallets.
Most of the lumber on the racks, also from pallets.
I try to use them as is, with as few cuts as possible.

My biochar kiln is sized for pallet board's, as is my languishing rocket mass heater.

I've been building little cold frames from pallet wood and refrigerator shelf glass.
Rather than  buckets or half barrels , going forward I hope to use stacking pallet wood frames or crates to root  hardwood cuttings.

My soil sifters are made from pallet wood and various sizes of hardware cloth, as is my potting table.

The main limiting factor of pallet wood is the length.
I use screw  laminated posts quite often, but haven't graduated to beams or using glue.

For 6 foot tall  fencing, I use two rows of the roughly 40" pallet board.
The top row overlaps the bottom row,rather than them butting  together .
This means no measuring or cutting of the boards, and using a brad nailer keeps the fastening cheap and fast.

I have used brads and staples to  nail together wooden walkways, just pallet wood directly over dirt and the last quite a long time.

I've seen building plans for sheds, barns, houses, etc, that use pallets.

I like to keep a few pallets around for keeping things off the ground in my parts/gear graveyard.

I have some cut down trees aging on some pallets that I had on hand. When winter comes around I can just put a tarp over them to protect them from weather yet still have some airflow below.

They are great for emergency fence repairs in the snow or rain. With baling twine they can hold things together long enough until the weather improves.  I have also used them for temporary fences when I end up with livestock I wasn’t planning in getting but the price was incredibly good.
