Explaining mapping a field with a current object in the middle with my DJI T40 Agriculture spray drone. Also explain the cleaning my chemical tanks.

Man that's cool, I live near the black dirt capital of the country, Pine Island NY. Use to watch the crop dusters all the time.

Great Videos! I have a question that i don't really see people covering but i know some if not all drone have 10-18 gallon tanks. What is the average cost of pesticide, herbicide or fungicide per gallon? I've seen people with 500 gallon tanks and i know theirs a mixture of chemicals involved and the specific ratios need. Yet no one talks about that cost side of things. My searching around just kinda says people charge 8-15 Dollar per acre to go out and spray. So could you enlighten me?

I just found your channel and will be checking the others out. I’m looking to get into the drone spray business and have a few questions. If you could reach out I’d greatly appreciate it.

How do your clients find the chemical coverage compared to ground spraying or spraying with an airplane.
@HarvestCo16 күн бұрын
The drone gets a better coverage than the airplane 100% ground rig is super nice and efficient except for running over your crop.. we sprayed 2k acres of fungicide on corn this week and never ran over a single stock lol

Do you need a special license other than commercial drone pilot license?
@HarvestCo16 күн бұрын
Yes, part 107 and a commercial spraying license

Hi Hunter! Can you do a video of how you flush the whole system?

Surely it’s still cheaper to spray with a real helicopter or crop sprayer in much shorter time with greater coverage. No batteries, charging etc.
@HarvestCo16 күн бұрын
I believe you're wrong.. the helicopter and duster cannot get where these drones can.. yes the may cover more acreage in a day but its not as efficient the science is there to back it up as well. With my two drones im covering 600 acres a day and my drone doesn't cost over a million dollars! Price per acre is similar but the yields and coverage are better.

@@HarvestCo Interesting. I was chatting with a representative of CASA which is the governing body for aviation in Australia. Even the representative said that when they added up the costs involved in time and pilot registration and training, the drone spraying alternative was just not cost effective in comparison to a helicopter or fixed wing with great capacity and run time.

For one thing, it’s much faster to mobilize and deploy a drone from a trailer vs getting a helicopter to come out. A drone can get to a field in minutes vs the prep time and scheduling needed for helicopter spray. Timing is everything when spraying and drones got choppers beat in that department. Of course a chopper has higher capacity and more coverage but the precision of a drone can’t be beat. A drone can spot spray with a prescription map saving chemical costs and time. Drones aren’t necessarily meant to compete with choppers either. They’re two different tools. Helicopters are hundreds of thousands of dollars vs a 25k spray drone? Cmon now…

@@mookm6639 Valid points. I live in a farming community where we rely on aerial spraying with fixed wing and helicopters. I have tried to push the drone options to farmers but they still remain skeptical. I think the drone idea is valid in certain areas, I am just not convinced when here in Australia there are suppliers saying to spray entire farms and we have hundreds and hundreds of acres per farm here to spray in a certain period of time.

I would also consider the lower barrier to entry. Much easier to get an FAA 107, and other certs than become a professional helicopter pilot. Edit: Just noticed you said you were an Aussie. Certifications may vary in your country to the US!
