You brought up a good point about side rails. Not all JD utility tractors came from the factory with side rails. Side rails need to be installed if not already installed before adding a loader.

With the 2030 and 245 loader, I have the optional HD front axle, and 11-15 front tires. Even with loaded rear tires and 4 110lb wheel weights I have to put on rear implement for real heavy loads. I have lifted logs so heavy the grapple would not curl back.

If he does not have the HD front axle, I would not recommend a 245 loader. A great loader, but too big for that tractor.

If your 2240 has a straight front axle, you can go heavier on the loader. However, most were not straight axle, also the 520 loader will fit as well.
