Steering wheel is able to keep turning past full lock.
It's possible on full left and full right locks.
No fluid seems to appear underneath. The steering wheel is not loose or free
spinning when fully turned but there is resistance.
please can you help. year:2008
Thank you!

Normal with fully hydraulic steering. There is no "lock" or stop for the hydraulics, only on the axle. Stop turning once wheels are at their stops.

Thank you very much. I've noticed positive camber on rear wheels, definitely rear left. Seen on other kubota's too. I guess this' normal.
Good machine only bought recently

Yes, they do have some camber in them. Very good machines. I kept 4, well now 2 going for a parks and recreation municipality. Other two topped out our hours to replace, went to auction.

Have you experienced any excess wheelspin on the inside front wheel on yours! Turning left or right, I have to feather the pedal to get round. I did ask this question a while back under kubota f3680 wheel spin - hope it's OK to ask again! Tried different things with 2wd/4wd. Deck up and down etc. Rear wheels push fine

Get the WSM and check rear wheel alinement, if the toe in is not right it will do that.
Also check the tire pressure on a 4 tires as that has an effect on it too.
If it still doing it, with it in 4wd, lift one rear tire off the ground and check for lash of the gears, (turn the tire back and forth till you get it to stop) , compare right to left.

I have not experienced that. Could your diff lock be stuck in the engaged position?
