Thank you Midniteoyl and Threepoint.
On hydraulics I definitely am incline to have 3 sets in the back and 3rd function up front (grapple up front, flail mower or even possibly a real vertical mast type of forklift in the back), and will likely go factory or MIE, since I like MIE's Top-n-Tilt kit too. Will talk to MIE to see how's their 3rd function kit different than factory's.
Quick update on door. Just glass is $470, door handle/latch is $250 (blew off with rest of shattered glass), and door assembly $1150 + shipping. Kioti has no lead time on glass or door assembly, door handle is available, and parts lead time still isn't good (according to both dealers I inquired with). There are several online tractor glass sellers but Kioti is not a brand they carry.
The tow shop that transported supposedly have insurance covering damages in transit but I have not heard back from them. And not sure if any of my USAA policies would cover this, but I plan to see if hinges, handles and door closing piston are re-usable, and then fabricate a piece of 3/16 - 1/4" Acrylic or Polycarbonate door glass (using the right side door and gasket from the broken door as template).
Until then, I will park it inside (something about tractor in old barn that just looks good together).
