Any idea what type of QR attachments would fit the Kioti? I guess what I am thinking of is what brands or sizes? Is the QR a standard size?

Rear attachments are all standardized (within category classes, and yours is "1"). Your questions are, do you need them on a Kioti with the sliding arms, do you have to buy a costly connector for each implement, will the added weight strain your hitch, and are most of your implements turning ones (because you have to attach the turn-shaft by hand anyway). ....

Just a side note here...I made my own QR system that works like a skid steer QA--complete with hydraulic locking pins that are actuated from the op seat. I still have to hook up the PTO though. ....

Let me restate this. On the FEL THere is a quick detach system for the bucket. I am poking around to see what options are available if/when I pull that off. I read there are forks like for a fork lift. ....

Oh.
Front attachments do not enjoy the standardization associated with rear ones although there are several systems for skid-steers, including those that replace the bucket.
But most of those you refer to (specifically including forks) attach to the bucket rather than replacing it. I have a factory hoe digger for mine, and made up protruding spikes for carrying dead trees, a bucket nose for digging, a front- and a back-rest for carrying bigger loads, splash-guards for using it as a liquid-spray reservoire, holders for supports so helpers can stand on it, etc. And you can get various grapples.
Tell us about your Kioti. When I need to replace my Yanmar I'd like to know about its quality. ....

Auer, forks are available for skid steers. Depending on what you're doing they're better than clamp-on bucket forks. I made a single grapple arm for my forks (think giant hydraulic tweezer). Works sweet for pulling concrete slabs when doing driveways. ....
