Hello, When I pick up a load of material and fold the bucket back as I am reversing and turning the wheel at the same time the bucket comes to its full closed position, I feel a "bump" in the steering wheel which I assume is the power steering.

Anyone else experienced this?

My first thought is the "bump" is the bucket hitting the stops. Do you feel the bump when not turning the wheel?

My second thoughf is why are you concerned?

Its all run by the same pump, so yes quite normal to feel other hydraulic systems coming to an end point of their stroke.
