We currently utilize the DJI Agras T40 Spray drone. This is the most widely used spray drone in the US.

The DJI T40 in an unfolded position measures approximately 9' x 10' x 2.5'. In a folded position it measures about 3.5' x 2.5' x 2.75'.

A DJI T40 weighs ~83 lbs without a battery, ~110 lbs with a battery, ~200 lbs with a full liquid tank, and 220 lbs with a full dry spreader.

The max capacity is 10.5 gallons of liquid and 110 lbs of dry product.

DJI T40 is capable spraying up to 32-34 feet, depending on factors such as wind and the adjuvants used to reduce drift.

The DJI T40 has a max flight speed of 32.8 fps which converts to ~22 mph.

A DJI T40 spraying at 2 gpa can cover 5 acres on a tank fill.

The drone flies fully autonomously. Sometimes the drone is manually landed and taken off but most of the time it is flying without any manual control.

A full battery will last between 7-8 minutes while completing a task.

At a hover a full battery can last up to 18 min with an empty tank.

The max wind speed is between 13-15 mph.

The DJI T40 spray drone utilizes two rotary atomizer nozzle.

The droplet size is easily changed with the rotary atomizer nozzles ranging from 50-300 μm.

3 batteries is the minimum required to operate non-stop while 4 is preferred.

We mount a generator on our trailer in order to constantly charge batteries and run pumps, etc.

Each pilot needs a Part 107 license, a 3rd class medical exam, and a state pesticide aerial applicator license.

As a business we carry a 44807 Heavy Drone Exemption and a Part 137 Operators Certificate.

We carry chemical liability insurance as well as insurance for our spray drones and other equipment.

For record keeping we have to comply with the requirements from the FAA as well as our state pesticide record keeping regulations.

We use a software called Drone Logbook Ag to comply with FAA and Illinois pesticide requirements.
