Hawk3145 - I, too, recommend MIE as a first-rate business to deal with.
If you do end up deciding on an NX, I suggest you also ask the dealer to install three rear remote valve sets, rather than just two as you have in mind. It will cost less to do it now, and you can then dedicate the first two sets to a hydraulic top 'n tilt system. That will leave the third set free for other purposes later (e.g. a hydraulic offset cylinder for a rear blade, as I do, or a hydraulic log splitter). You can't do it on the DK10 series due to the way the OEM valves are set up.
BTW, MIE builds nice top 'n tilt setups for the Kiotis at reasonable prices and quick turnaround. For the NX and DK10 series, a double-piloted check valve comes standard on their top link cylinder, and as an option on the side link cylinder.
Note: The last I checked, North America Kioti lists only two rear remotes as options for the NX series. However, you can add a third set just by ordering a second No. 2 remote kit, which includes the valve body and cable kit. The third valve body bolts right up to the first two. It just requires slightly longer, hardened bolts, 8.8 or better, long enough to extend through all three valve bodies. Those are available at Fastenall, etc. TBN member MinnesotaEric was the first to figure all this out, five years ago!
