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!
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).
@@JanVokas generators can be super cheap, the farmers I know buy stuff at auction ( some do buy new stuff lol)
@@JanVokas you’re wrong that battery is probably 2k
@@terpsquirter7107 ok, good to know. Thnaks.
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.
I am glad this was recommended to me. That drone is absolutely MASSIVE. I got interested and started checking out specs. I am genuinely impressed. This is the future of farming. Incredible.
great demo! So difficult to find videos on this drone that are well explained.
As a GIS engineer and a software developer, I can say that i am speechless! It's magical to watch remote controller screen... Keep up the good work!
It's all great till DJI gets told by the CCP to disable all the drones because the US wants to defend Taiwan.
@@thedave7760 you have the option to keep all data locally saved.
....? I can't see anything magical, it's pretty basic programming.
This is how China is mining a TON of our infrastructure and agricultural data. Any product or software that is owned by an enemy of the state, and has any potential of gathering Intel for them, should be banned from coming into the US.
@@honumoorea873 well, all those calculations + able to visualize the routes and adding additional settings ... thats not just basic programming. This is the reason why people dont understand why software engineers are in different tax bracket
You could make a heck of a rig using an F150 hybrid with the onboard generator and a 500 gallon tank on an enclosed trailer.
you guy so professional and very illustrative .Your post is GOAT
Cool video. I need one of these to spray the Golf greens. leaving no tractor wheel mark's would be a big benefit.
Suggest you put your hose on a retractable hose reel. Keeps the hose from becoming a tripping hazard.
Que top o vídeo meu amigo, a tecnologia tá ficando melhor a cada dia, os drones estao tomando conta do mercado, meus parabéns pelo vídeo....
That's a fancy (and expensive) way to make it rain in one specific area.
Things brings me so much joy on so many levels. Seeing a personal hobby become incredibly practical for real world applications.
Like law enforcement?
Why bother sending police officers to break up a protest when you can send a drone to spray protesters with skunk odour, taser them, flame thrower them, drop stun grenades or explosive variants.
As you said, so many applications…
Hello William, why do you like men?
@@MJBclassics Your welcome Sire.
I think the best benefit of this drone is that no person has to be close to the chemicals at all times. I heard there are many people with lung problems due to working as Sprayers for berry ranches.
That's a very well thought out GUI. Microsoft could learn a thing or two from you guys.
They don't make the equipment. It's made by dji.
@@IIIIII705 Ah, well I'm impressed with dji then.
@@GeneralChangFromDanang Yep, I too was quite surprised to learn DJI also make these big agricultural drones. Only thing is I was a bit concerned by the remote pairing procedure - I don't like the idea of being near those huge props holding down its power button just in case the motors fired up.
Microsoft has had Apple to copy from since 1984, and they've demonstrated very little learning ability.
This is ideal for people who don't have a lot of acreage to spray. DJI has thought through this drone's operation.
I can't imagine a situation where this would beat conventional methods.
@@spammerscammer If you walk through the field with a sprayer you would probably get more on you than the plants. If you don't have a tractor and boom sprayer it would tear down the crops.
This will be great for respraying problem areas or missed areas, to slow for whole farm aplocation in my opinion
What a great piece of kit!!
I’d love to be a farmer with tools like that😄 Nice video👍
Awesome. Its crazy how many people in the comments think you can add a small solar panel on it to power it. It would probably take a 40'x40' solar system to charge it.
How's the health looking for those batteries, since your charging them at those insane speeds?
Best video about DJI T30 on internet. Congratulations. Hope to see more soon.
So true
This is great for high angled fields and unleveled terrain. On flat surfaces like this one there are better alternatives.
Complete noob here... what are the other alternatives you are talking about?
@@shrekpower autonomous trucks? Google it, will blow your mind. Noob ;)
@@shrekpower any tractor would be faster and wouldn't need a trained drone operator.
They are also autonomous, and don't need to be charged every 10 minutes
Aircraft have no problem applying product to fields with varying terrain and elevation. Drones are good for tiny fields with trees or obstacles on all sides that planes and helis can't safely navigate.
Amazing piece of engineering, DJI is best at what they do honestly
I love DJI
@@Pabloperes675 It concerns me that the Chinese control the source code.
Hey there, i’am just curious if you are selling those refill caps for the tanks? I’am very interested :)
Thats so impressive and makes a big step in agriculture, but i wonder how much does this Drone normally costs?
And what is the cost to the farmer if you are selling your service?
16k€
That is too freaking cool, this would be good if someone could adapt a drone for Pest Control around suburban homes.
Thermal fogger drone can do that work, killing some mosquitoes etc
Really cool stuff. You have to love technology. God bless you.
I live in an apartment, have no need for this and just watched this whole video. I love this stuff. About to watch the other videos as well. Are you guys hiring? Ha ha
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?
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.
Question for you. If you reduce flight speed the pump reduces flow to spray but does the flight time increase? Say instead of max speed if you spray at 10mph does flight time increase? Or does it remain the same as it's still Carrying the weight for a longer time so it still covers the same acres per charge? Thanks keep videos coming!
I fly drones recreationally only. I would say there will be some sliding scale knowledge needed for this. As the speed of flight decreases, so does battery usage but not directly proportional. Also, as pump flow speeds decrease, battery usage will decrease proportionally effectively setting off some of the increased flight time battery usage. Also, wind speed and direction + air temp will affect the prop efficiency and therefore the possible flight time per battery. He also mentioned that low temperatures negatively affect the battery efficiency. There are many variables you need to be aware of and I would think that the onboard software will do many of these calculations for you and present the answers as graphical representations on the controller screen for you. That is why it is so important do do proper flight planning before you send the drone out over the field. All aviation applications work like that.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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
@@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.
Wow, very good! As a farmer myself, it’s exciting to see such tech….hardly practical for anything we currently apply but a very good looking quality product. Where is the product manufactured? 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. Nice product! Keep up the innovations….nice charger too!
No aerial applicators in your area?
Where do you think it is manufactured
@@dbp6111 I believe Japan or China. I used to know but forgot.
@@bryanhauschild4376 DJI Design and produce in China
what drone would be best for 'spot spraying' - going out into pastures and just spraying the problematic weeds?
I never knew this existed so cool!!
So how did farmers do the same thing before drones existed? Were farmers also pilots, with a helicopter or small plane?
It was also used somewhere in the Philippines (Pasig City, Metro Manila) for disinfection during the height of the pandemic.
Gotta battle that 0.003 fatality rate.
I like this video, just it worries that physical drop of batteries that you do into the drone. Maybe more gentle would be better.
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?
Possibly but I doubt it. It would probably end up losing time due to having to spend time sliding between paths
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
@@littlejackalo5326 You missed the part were he mentioned multiple drones, And if you think this very first version is as good as it gets you might be a lot more naïve than you initially thought,
What machinery is this replacing? A boom sprayer?
it seems that one person could run about 4 at a time? Now that's some efficiency gain!
this seems a good business to get into
Very impressive. Wish you the best with your company and product
Do you find many modern, common ag chemicals that are not labeled for 2gpa minimum spray rates with aerial applications? I have been out of the ag spray business for 25 years, but back in the day many post emerge herbicides required a minimum of 5 gpa or more for effective control of target pests using aerial applications.
Thanks.
Love this settup when are you gonna do a seeding video ?
That's freaking awesome. I want one
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a special chemical used in drones, since very small amounts of chemical are used, or is it sprayed with the same chemical as for classic sprayers? Because it's fascinating to me how a large area of the field can be sprayed with 30 liters of chemicals
Great work, it doesn't seem 2 far away that it could self refill and swap batteries. It seems the hard work is done. Can you map the fields for next time?
All is needed is a fueling/charging dock for repeatable or larger missions.
@@eddiemarohl5789 I think, there still be needed at least one person as a supervisor operator. So not worth to invest into fuel/charge dock logic/mechanic - just let the person do something for their $$. It might be handy to have also swappable tanks for "fuel" - so land, swap batteries, swap tanks with filling and let it go within 10sec.
@@JanVokas dji already made one for their newest enterprise drone for repeatable missions. So the technology isn't too far off maybe a decade or two.
@@shawnt5272 dji already has a hotswappable enterprise drone two batteries per drone so you can do that. The dock which has also been made is so the process is automated so you don't have to walk out and swap the batteries yourself every time.
@@shawnt5272 and that's not really thinking bigger that's just a given in these sorts of conversations so we don't need to say it.
Wow. Brillant little robot. Brother of Wall E.
Hello all looking for a beginner drone to spray banana,rice and citrus fields dont have the funds to start with a dji.Looking for any complete drone kit to spray that comes with everything i need to star spraying that wont break the bank any links are welcomed thanks all.
WOW! What a great video. Thank you for sharing. One question. I am in a rather "rolling hills" area, will the T30 automatically adjust AGL? Thank you in advance. PS. Are there other manufacturers other than DJI?
The T30 will maintain AGL based on variable grounds height. And no, DJI is the only company that makes the T line of drones. I have seen other companies that make similar products, however they are not nearly as unified or easy to use.
Very impressive technology but not sure that little bit of water is going to do much good for the field. : )
Wow...impressed.
I can see a use for these with the U.S. Forrest Service and other countries equivelents.
Spraying tinger dry fields on the edge of a Forrest fire break or dry grass open field with a fire approaching to head off the fire from spreading using fire suppression agent mixed with water or to fertilize a new growth area that has scarified soil in need of it.
And many other uses.
This would be great for someone like the Larsons Farm channel boys Chet and the Big Swede and Dad Dougo.
With the few liter the drone can carry, it's not really realistic for this application
This is soo beneficial to the farmer in soo many ways, soil compaction is one of the biggest savings from technology, I love this concept, and I will be in touch. Long live brother. Just a quick question while I am still here, how do the maintenance schedule and requirements work on this beauty.
Hello,
Great video! We used your tips for our drone station.
We are interested about the improvised nozzle for filling the drone tank. Can you tell us where can we get something like that?
Thanks
Thanks a lot for your insights! One Question: What does this drone cost? And also what does an additional battery cost?
$7500
Not what I saw. $21,000 with everything
The new T40 is RMB58000（$8500 ） in China. Maybe more expensive in other country.
What’s the total cost for this drone?
As a DJI P3 pilot just for fun, I totally enjoyed this. How far we've come indeed. Cheers from Thailand. Expat Canadian.
It insane. The future for drone base problem solving looks bright
The newest enterprise dji drone with that dock Is going to rock the industry. Especially the dock. It expands the capabilities of drones for professional and small business use so much.
You mean immigrant
You’re living in the future brother
You havent thought through how much faster you're burning through your batteries by not spending a few dollars on a heating pad or battery warmer... They have charge cycle ratings.
my god 10 years ago this was only in sci-fi movies crazy ...
this is sooooooo sick
Thank you bro for such interestingreview and usefull lifehacks, do you think is it safe to boot it when its folded? Cause props starting to move , but they are folded. Planing to buy one of those in Kyrgyzstan. Is it profitable in US?
这个行业怎么算价格的？
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.
Its water just for the demonstration.
so cool. game changer 🤩
Thanks for showing how awesome that controller looks😍💯
I how people realize that this great machine was made in China.... hopefully we can start to see people changing their minds... it took the Japanese over 30 years to convince people of the quality and innovation of their tech products
Made in india, made in pakistan, made in brazil, made in indonesia, made in philipines, made in nigeria……..the cycle of stereotyping shifts on and on as rich countries and the ones getting richer continue their quests for cheap labor, and the kids of those cut-priced laborers will be educated enough to innovate and look for cheap labors to manufacture the products they designed, just the natural order of things.
I really want to work in agriculture using drones
Idk, think I'd rather fill up a large tank and ride in an air conditioned tractor all day than babysit this drone filling it up every five minutes. I like what you are doing though. Wake me up when you figure out autonomous refills and battery swapping.
I don’t like the way that you have to stand between the blades and hold down the battery power switch to link the remote. Is that the DJI recommended method? As an ex distributor I can safely say that the motors would never malfunction and start up but this seems odd to me
with my Part 107 license I would love it if I could find myself an actual job in the industry, yet here I am, still servicing golf cars for a living, because nobody actually hires drone pilots off the street... you've gotta be a salesman to make it as a drone pilot I guess, and I am no salesman
Excellent video, Thank you!! How do charge... by acre or hour? I'm planning on establishing the business model down south, CHEERS!
Do DJI sell nest for this? I saw a video of it recharging and refilling automatically in their nest, not sure if real or fake
Just curious, could you increase payload by 20-30% to better match battery..... efficiency..
I was like: How is a tiny drone going to spray that are... *Ho - ly- shit that thing is big, yea that makes sense.*
You have to design auto-refill dock station to charge tank automatically. Great product.
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.
@@jonasstahl9826 I guess there is no need to develop robot arm. System based on Quick-disconnect couples and pumps will be enough.
Great video! Where can I buy that easy fuel cap and fuel nozzle? Thanks for sharing!
That's the type of job a retiree would like to have to pass the time of day.
It really amazing, really professional. I love the GUI and algorithm, btw you guys explained very well. I hope I'll do same success one day, thank you
Hi! That slit tank cover just came with drone or is sold separately?
What would b the hours of service you get out of the rotor motors and spray pump, longevity?
Was that Cary Grant I saw running away ?
Could this be used for bareground herbicides? or could would it do any good on Pipeline right of way work?
@agrispraydrone How do you arrange the product delivery to the field with the client ? Do you ask him to provide the pre-mixed product in a tank before you come to the field ? Or do you manage that yourself ?
Same question-- this is the part of the business operation that is still unclear to me. Do we have to have huge tanks on the trailer? I know I will have one for water for cleanup, etc. but not sure about the chemicals. And who is responsible for storage/disposal of the chemicals?
9kW genny thats beefy. with the battery swap would it not be better to add an intermediate battery or capacitor to provide the computer with power for a tiny bit when swapping battery's.
I really want to get the lid of the container. Could you tell me where I can get one?
Is it diificult to get over the 55lbs weight issue? Im in the Troy area.
Would you be able to tell me what all this cost? Like you have set it up, besides the truck
I’m really liking this
Very good and well explained video. You have mentioned that the remote you have is not the one which comes with the drone can you please share what is the model of the remote you have and it advantages. I am a small farmer planning to get one but we don't have any direct dealer in my country nearest is Bangkok. Can you also share information on the reliability of this flight and service options you get, thanks
Is this original tank cover or you made it yourself?
@@AgriSprayDrones can you give us more details about that?
@@AgriSprayDrones It is brilliant! Can we get some information about that?
@@AgriSprayDrones What is the fill through caps model? This is a great idea.
Lol, farmers advancing their crop pesticide spraying. much better than having a big ole aircraft flying over. I don't think using pesticides is good for the environment, and should be agienist all LAWS!. but I will say the T40 is a beautiful drone
I'm truly interested in getting into this business.
Absolutely amazing video! Excellent work!! So clear and easy to understand, I think I just found my new favorite UA-cam drone channel!
Emulsions, air bubbles in solution...how does it handle?
What's the setup cost for drone, batteries, generator, trailer, water pump etc? And what do you charge out at per hour? Thanks
Do you run Chems through the pump system? Or just clean water? How do you mix your actual chems?
Wonder how much more it could carry and cover if it was gas powered.
teknologi ini merupakan solusi yang tepat dan memiliki nilai efisiensi baik. Perlu pelatihan untuk melakukan ini. Anda memiliki bakat yang hebat
No point in toping off the tank if its going to return to refill with 3 gallons in it.
This makes me so happy to see. I would like to do this for my career. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Are you hiring?? That looks like such a cool job!
Can you please tell me the price on this drone setup ready to fly?
