Kioti ck30
I'm about to dump for a ck30 kioti with a fel and backhoe. I've never had a tractor before. My question is, what are the top 3 0r 4 attachments you guys like. No matter if bought, homemade or what. What do you find usefull?

Lastly, do I get a fel with teeth or smooth and buy a tooth bar????

Without a doubt toothbar !!

Your already getting the loader and backhoe, so your set there..
My most used attachments are
rear finish mower
tiller
brush mower
boxblade

Get the smooth fel and buy a toothbar. You can always
remove the toothbar.
I have RB, FB, Ballast box, toothbar, rear flood lites,
front flood lites, tilt-meter, tire chains, loader level indicator,
canopy, wheel weights, and filled rear tires. I find all these things useful. Will add additional attachments when money
is right. I also have a flashing yellow warning lite so when
I am plowing snow with the FB.
Hope this gives you some idea of useful additions to start.

Get a toothbar, I probably wasted 20 hours trying to remove a stone wall without it. I think it is the best investment I have made for my FEL. My next best buy was a box blade. Although I only used it to level out my yard, it is a great source of ballast. The next best investment I would buy is a landscape rake with guage wheels. Although I do not own one, I have borrowed the father-in-laws and hate to return it every time.

Nice start ! Tooth bar is a wise choice.
Box Blade
Auger
Landscape rake
Batwing mower (weeds)

A removable toothbar is probably one of the most used tools I added. I also use my boxblade with rippers very often. The loader you're already getting, it's the number one, but becomes much more with the toothbar. John

Fill out your BIO with more detailed information. Doing this will help you and others. By knowing where you live climate, geography etc better recommendations can be made.

Tooth Bar for sure. Box blade or just a plain old blade for smoothing & leveling. It really depends on what projects you plan on. Of course really once you have a tractor it's more a question of what projects can you come up with to get seat time (Play) on the tractor.

I must admit, I expected to see a grapple, or forks or something like that in your favorites.

Well, I personally have forks, but use them only occasionally. Great to have when I want them. They help a lot when moving large brush piles, and cut firewood on pallets, but I use the loader/toothbar and boxblade far more often.
Of course, what we have is not what you necessarily want, and if you can buy them, get all the implements you want!
If I had more money, there probably wouldn't be an implement that would fit on my tractor that I wouldn't have! John

Most important: A heavy boxblade for use in its own right, and to balance the FEL, unless you are going to keep the BH on all the time. Pay a little extra and get a heavy duty BB. It will be worth it.

Not having any other information, I would say:

Rotary mower (brush hog)

Depending on your needs, any of these

Rear finish mower
Tiller
Post hole digger
Pallet forks
Boom pole
