jicasedeere - 7/5/2024 01:04 I bought a 2013 Magnum 290 a few years ago. The tractor mechanically and everything is fine. But I have battled the auto steer since day one. I've had two different CIH dealers try and get it fixed with the factory system and nobody could figure it out. I decided to put a reichardt greenfit kit in it this spring hoping that it would improve it and also serve the farm better since everything else is Deere. This tractor STILL bobs, weaves, swerves, wiggles, etc. Most of the problems have to do with line acquisition. When you hit the resume button, it just seems lost like it can't find the line. If you turn into the line just perfect it will catch and then is usually pretty good. I researched previous posts on here and it seems that CIH autosteer just isn't very good. HOWEVER, I have neighbors who run all red equipment and seem to get along just fine. Do I just have one of the bad ones? The tractor does good enough for what I use it for (rolling, secondary tillage). But I would also like to use it for planting, but I wouldn't dare plant with it as I would have crooked rows everywhere. It's a shame because it runs great! There are things I really like about it, but I am ready to punt it down the road. I think trading back into another Magnum or Steiger I would maybe get a better deal, but I don't want to continue to have horrible autosteer if they're all the same. With Deere machines you hit the resume button and it just resumes back on the line perfectly! You don't even have to be that close to the line for it to acquire smoothly. I find it hard to believe that CIH, for as many units as they sell, have such bad autosteer. Which makes me think it's just my tractor and possibly a few others out there. I've read that AFS connect is an improvement? Is there an issue with the Steigers?
