Agras T30 - Full Spraying Demo

This is a demo of the Agras T30 from mapping to spraying. We have a ton of experience with these drones. We can get you your own T30 and help you get started for the 2022 season.

*We have FAA approval to operate the T30

The thing that impresses me the most is the insane charging speed of these batteries & that you only need 3 batteries per drone. Even if you needed 10, it would still be cheaper than old school equipment (tractor + sprayer). That's amazing!

[@JanVokas]

And If you have 20 of them (or the amount for all day long work), you might not need the gasoline generator. Refuel just with simple ol' gravity and recharge all batteries at home/shop. And thus whole setup should be even more cheaper (I assume that batteries are cheaper than this massive generator, I might be wrong).

[@timgoodliffe]

@@JanVokas generators can be super cheap, the farmers I know buy stuff at auction ( some do buy new stuff lol)

[@terpsquirter7107]

@@JanVokas you’re wrong that battery is probably 2k

[@JanVokas]

@@terpsquirter7107 ok, good to know. Thnaks.

[@bartdereu]

I too think that recharging them constantly is allot cheaper. Would it not be interesting to have bigger lead acid batteries and some solar panels as a power source? You could easely charge those overnight for a full day work and charge the drone's batteries from the power of the lead acids.

You could adapt this to automatically refill itself relatively easy and the entire process could be automated. You could add various field sensors(water levels, nutrient levels, ph, etc) that report back to it so the entire thing is completely automated.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Battery swaps would be a problem, that would be a complicated task and costly to automate without redesigning parts of the drone so the battery could be swapped from the bottom, and it would still be fairly difficult to implement. Loading the tank would be easy though, just have the port on bottom and make a pad to center the landing skids so the nozzle aligns with the port.

[@Jonj57]

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper It wouldn't be cheap but if you built the truck around the drone you could build a dock into the top of the truck where the battery gets swapped and water filled automatically. Not sure its any better than just having a dude do it though considering you're always going to have to have at least one guy drive the truck and monitor the drone.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@Jonj57 Well think about how you'd get the battery out and a new one in...it's accessed from the top and has a latch that needs to be undone as well. You'd need an arm that extends out with an apparatus that both grabs the battery and unlatches it, then pulls it out and drops it in a charger, then grabs another battery and pops it in. It sounds simple but practically speaking would require some automation approaching the level of a 4 axis CNC or assembly line robotic arm. By the time you get the bugs worked out, you're probably out enough money to buy another drone. Now, if the battery could be accessed and removed from the underside of the drone, that would greatly simplify things, as all you'd likely need is a carousel arrangement for the battery packs. I could see a fully autonomous loading operation being very useful though, even if it doesn't save a whole lot of time (or any, really) with a single drone. It would start becoming useful with say half a dozen drones or more on a large flatbed trailer, where they all could theoretically be managed and monitored by a single operator sitting in front of a screen for each drone, checking status and operation on the entire fleet (swarm?) both on displays and when they come in for another load. Rather than having six pilots/loaders for a single field, you'd have one guy, making it more profitable for a sole owner/proprietor. The name of the game is to rack up as many acres as possible when you're in aerial application, and if you're stuck only being able to cover one or two drones by yourself, you're not going to be making a whole lot of money.

[@Jonj57]

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper sorry i forgot to mention it would require a sidle loaded battery. Then when it lands it would be easy to have an electric arm push the old battery put and push a new battery in

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@Jonj57 Yeah...from the side or the bottom would be far easier to do than from up top. A lot less potential for rotor strikes as well.

Very impressive to be able to carry that much weight. If down the road we develop different herbicides, insecticide, fungicides this could be a very nice advantage. Of course the biggest advantage is not being able to sit down and drink sodas, lol….the advantage is not having to enter the field with equipment, thus saving from compaction damage and equipment damage.

Thanks for such a great informative video on the agri drones. I've heard of them but never had a in depth show and tell. I really enjoyed it and considering getting into the business. What's a rough estimate on startup costs for someone to get into the business?

[@agdronesnorthwest]

Roughly $50k at a minimum, plus many months of time for passing exams and waiting for FAA regulators. ~$30k for drone, charger, batteries, spare parts. $10k for modest trailer setup. $6k for insurance. $4k for legal, generator, misc. These are minimums, and assumes you already have the vehicle to pull the trailer. Don't forget marketing costs-- ads, trade shows etc-- anywhere from $2-$20k depending on how aggressive you want to be. And, you have to hire a Visual Observer for every job, at $15-30/hour.

[@AnvABmai]

You have to design auto-refill dock station to charge tank automatically. Great product.

[@jonasstahl9826]

The design is simple just a small robot arm with a grapple for the battery and a fill nozzle. The difficult thing is to develop an interface to control it and a camera system for the robot to make it able to work.

[@AnvABmai]

@@jonasstahl9826 I guess there is no need to develop robot arm. System based on Quick-disconnect couples and pumps will be enough.

I’ve been interested in drone since 2015. I don’t know anything about Agri spray. But this is one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks for doing this demo. One question you mentioned you filling it up with water what about the pesticide? Also how do you know when it’s full I didn’t notice you watching it carefully when you filled it is there an auto shut off? Did you mix the pesticide in the water already? I’m not quite through the video I’m just at the point where you switch the batteries. I find this so interesting. It’s truly a fundamental shift and how things are done. Thank you again.

[@spazzman90]

Its water just for the demonstration.

[@lucasjackson8837]

This will be great for respraying problem areas or missed areas, to slow for whole farm aplocation in my opinion

[@RotorWorks]

Great demo and nice to see someone with such thorough knowledge. Would it be more efficient for complete tank use to spray the fields side to side so if it runs out it won’t have as far to return, whereas doing long runs it may have to travel a long way home then back?

[@averageodd]

Possibly but I doubt it. It would probably end up losing time due to having to spend time sliding between paths

[@littlejackalo5326]

It's already super inefficient. There aren't many products that's are sprayed at such a low rate of 2 g per acre. Even at that low rate, the drone can only spray 4 acres. LOL. Farms big enough to invest in a $15k+ drone (plus ancillary equipment required for it), won't have any use for a drone that needs to constantly refill. Most products will only get around 1-2 acres done per flight. You have 1000 acres, and you'll be there for weeks spraying that. You'll never be able to charge batteries fast enough. You'll need a dozen of the $1.1k batteries
