Ha, already thought to add a toothbar.

Looks pretty thorough. I wish I spec'd my tractor with (3) remotes... I thought I only needed 2.
You may want to do the tooth bar yourself, and get a Piranha Bar.

Looks reasonable to me...

Had to look up piranha bar. Look to be a bit more useful for every day stuff. Must say, on my ck30, I welded top hooks and built forks for it. Could load up the forks on the bucket in 5 seconds from the seat. Best thing I ever did to it. I see on quick attach skidsteer style I'll have to get off the seat with my lazy old butt!

I suspect you're going to be disappointed with the resulting reply.

Some information for you.
Loader will be KL5521 model, they are standard with Bobcat style quick attach.
DK's only allow for 2 rear remotes.
and currently Kioti doesn't offer a top n tilt option. All aftermarket right now.

Regarding top & tilt sets, be sure that you get 2 1/2" dia cylinders and rods that are larger than 1 1/4" in diameter.
I build Fit Rite units using 2 1/2" dia cylinders with 1 1/2" dia rods for your model of tractor, similar to those pictured.
A complete set, cylinders, hose kits, flow restrictors shipped to you for $1426.
Not the cheapest, but there are none better.

In my experience, sending an email for a quote is the worse way to get a price for something. Email is fine once you've talked to the salesperson, but pretty much ignored otherwise. There are too many scammers and people that will never actually buy, to spend time on random emails.

For best results, you need to go there in person and talk to them in person. Bring your list with you and give it to the person you are talking to. This will prove that you are serious and worth their time to respond to. It will also let you know who are dealing with and if you want to spend your money there.

If that is not possible, call on the phone and talk somebody.

Far and away the best idea ^^^^^
1) whoever gets it assumes you're just price shopping
2) much better seeing dealership in person
3) salesperson probably has ideas you haven't thought of
4) the in-person price most likely will be less for multitude of reasons
5) list goes on & on:, they could already have on the lot at a better price (last years model?)...

Does it HAVE to be Kioti? Another dealer (JD, Kubota, NH, etc) may have equivalent???
