I recently purchased a used M7040HD 4wd. I've notice that I can turn much sharper to the right than I can when turning left. When turn the wheel to the extreme when turning left I hit a hard stop. There is no spungy feel at the steering wheel? Any body had a similar issue with a Kubota tractor?

Thanks all!

Welcome to OTT
I've never noticed any difference in turning radius when turning either direction on my M7040 mfwd.

Check both wheels to be sure they're both offset correctly. Also check both tie rods and make sure they're both roughly the same length, e.g. one not turned "in" too far on one side only.
