Autoguide Massey steering weaving.

Recently bought a Massey 7618 with Autoguide 3000. If you travel over 8 kmh,
the steering constantly weaves about 50cm either side of the centre line.

Have had the software updated and no joy.
When calibrating the mounting bias, it doesn't steer right when it should.
Swapped the dome and the fault disappeared.

Is there anywhere that can repair the dome?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, doesn't really make much difference. Spreading fert on grassland @ 15kmh results in sea sickness!
When we tried a different dome it was fine.

Have had that done, was ready to change the steering orbital, then decided to try a different dome first as it was easier to swap, and the autosteer works fine with a different dome, so I'm assuming there is a problem with the dome.

Have you checked all the vehicle settings/dimensions as maybe the other dome had different settings in them. Maybe try creating a new tractor profile and entering the measurements

You’d expect it to be the other way around though - i.e. the replacement AG3000 has no settings/or the default settings - hence would require settings to be rechecked, yet it works perfectly fine according to the OP and the existing AG3000, which you would expect alteady had the dimensions/settings entered and checked, is the one with the issues :scratchhead:

If its isobus steering then the settings are stored in the recever/steer controller (AG3000)
edit, he doesnt have a seperate screen, AG3000 is the term used when running through datatronic screen
