Top con weaving

My deutz has topcon autosteer which I have used all year without any real problem. Thinking back to early spring, flat rolling seing the diff lock, sometimes the tractor would start weaving. Not really important on that job.
Well, now I am drilling, by and large it is fine, but sometimes (normally in a damp bit if ground and the tractor is « bogging” a bit) the tractor starts weaving in across the line and never gets better itself, just worse and worse, so I get her under control, steering, and Re engage.
Is this just an issue of being too sensitive or not sensitive enough? Also, with this top con I don’t know how to adjust 🙄, with the green star this stuff is obvious 🤔

You might get more help if you could tell which Topcon it is? If it is an X30 or a branded copy, you can press the question mark on the screen to see what each button does (if not obvious from the icon).

Perhaps an IMU issue like someone else recently had with another brand?

I could see if I can improve it with this screen, I think. Except, I can’t get this screen:banghead:

Do you actually have something like the Imonitor3 screen? Looks like a Deutz branded Topcon screen and it might have a reduced set of menus from the original Topcon X35. Still odd if it would not have steering sensitivity settings.

Are you sure? I’m sure it does. If you are in uk. Dave Jefferson at Deutz uk is very good in these screens
