Scott, it looks nicely made - I like the curved booms. Seems to be by the same guy who made "Ironmanfabrications" equipment a while back. The 40 loader does have the connection between the loader towers, which adds some resistance to racking which could be important if you're doing a lot of heavy or off-center work.
The unit appears slightly more difficult to attach & detach than the 40 in that you have to get off the tractor to work the pins, where on the 40 it can all be done from the seat - but no biggie.
You will definitely need the loader-specific relief valve to protect your drivetrain, and there's a control rod that goes with it.
You won't need to shim for greater lifting power (or swap in different boom cylinders like I did) as the stock lifting power is 400 pounds - more than that and I'd recommend a bigger tractor.
What's the price he's asking? For reference, I think my 40 loader, relief valve, starter weights, 12 suitcase weights and weight box went for about $2K total, 4 or 5 years ago.
