I m looking at buying a 260 loader that is currently on a John Deere 2940. I m looking at putting it on a Deere 4030, the loader is joystick control. Wondering if the mounts off the 2940 would work on the 4030. Also wondering about tapping into the hydraulics. Any thoughts and feed back is much appreciated.

Loader mounting frames for utility & Rowcrop tractors are different. I think the frames for utility tractors that extend to rear axles will fit just not designed for rowcrop tractors. I think joystick will fit RC tractor. Power beyond block is probably the best choice for hyd for JS on a 4030
The 260 Manhiem frames will fit no problem on a Waterloo. Actually better because they go to under the back axle for support and strength. I have a 245 frame on a 3020.
Had to lengthen the end of the frames under the rear axle a bit. On the front end of the frame, I welded 1/2 x 4 flat bar on the rear of the frame and bolted it to the
side frames of the tractor. On the front of the frame, I used 1/2 x 4 flat bar again and boxed around the front bolster of 3020. This way it is like combining the rear
axle support of the Manhiem frame with the front end support of the Waterloo frame. If the said 260 loader is in good shape, it has lots of features over say a 148-
Quick Attach, more break-out force, Quick Attach bucket and higher lift. As mentioned a Power Beyond block makes a nice neat installation. Hopes this helps. I'd go for
it in a heart beat if I needed a loader. I have a 265 on a 4240 and a 245 on a 3020.......Ron
