@@daveb3910 Of course there is the possibility. I would argue though its more political than it is a national security threat. It's not as if DJI drones hardware is not inspected and tested. I believe if China wished to collect intelligence or do harm, there are more effective ways than controlling drones that only a minority can afford and is interested in purchasing.
That’s some amazing drone and mix of everyday agriculture technology. Hats off to the Chinese DJI manufacturers and this American farmer for making this video. I own the DJI M300 for construction mapping and earthwork volume computations and love it. This Chinese DJI firm are focused on production for anyone who wants to use their drones. Great video!!!
ikr it felt from a sci fi movie. yet here we are. big applause to dji for innovation and reducing the cost for ordinary people and farmers to use it in day to day life
There is lots of peers. But apparently u are on the dji peer. They are merely a name brand that everyone knows, it's like buying land o lakes milk vs a store brand milk
No need to have a farm, in many countries where farmers don't own huge farmland, they call and book the aerial spraying operations from local agri companies instead of buying an expensive agri drone. The drone operator just completes spraying one place and drive to the next farm. 😂
@@kevinj2261 I don't think you necessarily need large mass carrying - if you're only spreading/spraying say once a week and it takes say 3 days for it to cover your entire farm the lift capability is more than adequate and staying low mass keeps the various aviation regulations that you need to comply with in check. What it needs is an umbilical that auto attaches/detaches to it can refill and charge itself - then DJI are onto something and it becomes a mass-market (at least as far as agriculture) product. BUT they have to go through this phase of development first I suppose. They already do the dock thing with the Matrice and automated ops exactly of that nature, so they have experience in it - they just need to do it for this and include a way to fill the tank automatically.
❤❤❤i come from vietnam, drone is very useful for small and medium sized agriculture, drone brings effective value to farmers in my hometown, and i am operating DJI AGRAS T40 to serve farmers my hometown
I just got a DJI mini 4 and watching training videos led me to this video. I must say, you have very good presentation and sales skill. I was locked in on this video. You were direct and comfortable. If I had a farm and needed this I would insta-buy. What a great use of technology mixed into the agriculture industry.
Small farmers can’t afford toys like this! Also this technology is war away from cost and time efficiency still way better doing it yourself… batteries die fast only 50L hard to get parts and is crazy expensive
I've recently bought a DJI mini drone just for fun but these are truly amazing with endless applications.Only thing is the chemical pump looks a bit unsecured (i understand its under development)but absolutely blowen away with this tech.This would do well here in Australia.
Amazing! im used to be in the aircraft sparying in the 90s now im watching this and im just stocked! really impressive, Im looking forward to start a mapping bussines in EU , and droped here, thanks
@@AmisCorollawas thinking the same,making it easier to put chemicals in the food we eat, innovation would be better used for if it was making us healthier not the other way around
Awesome video and awesome drone! A thought: An integrated package with tank and battery that the drone could pick up and put down by itself would make this next level. Perhaps a platform it could be dropped on that would automatically connect power and hose. A small internal battery for making the hop from drop off to pick up and a set of three of those next to each other, than the drone could basically operate completely on its own. Wouldn't even have to stop the blades.
That's wild, replacing the 3 wheel boom sprawers in the swamp crop soy. Great for the Corn, Barley, Oats,Rye, all the grasses crops. Amazing .. What about reliability and ease of repair? Thats very important in farming.
Wow, the future is here. Who knew this was more interesting than any other video. I’ve seen on here. A farmer could buy this thing and just hire somebody to run it if they have a lot of stuff to spray instead of paying a company to do it.
That’s an excellent use for an industrial drone. Bigger is definitely better. Maybe a larger drone will be approved in the future with the payload capacity of a small manned airplane….something like surplus global hawk war birds.
Now this is a video I can enjoy watching…some good information by professional people, providing a professional service with incredible technology. I would love to get into this industry field.
I haven't finished watching the video but I already know that's full of useful infos. Congratulations, it has been hard to find out good videos about DJI Agras' products.
Great video and cool-setup. What is ballpark total cost for the set-up (trailer/generator/mixer/drone/charging system)? Would you ever consider operating 2 drones with this set-up? Would you need a bigger generator or just more batteries? Thanks!

*Setting Up the T40* * *Field Mapping: (**0:34** - **2:00**)* The T40 remote allows for field mapping directly in the field or importing pre-mapped fields. Start points, spray lines, flight direction, and entry points can be easily edited. * *Application Settings: (**1:52** - **2:56**)* Preset templates (e.g., fungicide) adjust application rate, flight speed, route spacing, and height above the canopy. The drone automatically determines the flow rate based on speed, spacing, and desired gallons per acre. * *Droplet Size: (**2:40** - **2:53**)* Rotary nozzles allow for changing droplet sizes directly from the remote. * *Physical Setup: (**3:07** - **4:33**)* The T40 is transported with folded arms secured by a ratchet strap. Arms are easily unfolded and locked into place using a cam lock design. *Operation* * *Battery Management: (**9:36** - **10:29**)* The demonstration used three batteries, a T30 charger, a cooling kit, and a generator. * *Flight: (**6:46** - **7:32**)* The T40 flies autonomously to the start point, lowers to the preset height, and begins spraying. It automatically returns to the home point when the tank runs low or at the end of the mission. * *Prop Wash Vortex: (**7:37** - **8:32**)* The drone utilizes a dual rotor system, rotating clockwise and counterclockwise to create a powerful vortex for optimal product distribution. * *Refilling and Battery Swap: (**11:38** - **13:35**)* The video demonstrates how to quickly refill the tank and swap batteries to minimize downtime. * *Efficiency: (**14:39** - **16:40**)* Cycle times determine overall efficiency. The demonstration showed a cycle time of around 6 minutes for 4 acres, suggesting a potential of 40 acres per hour. *Safety Features* * *Manual Override: (**19:47** - **22:02**)* Operators can manually override the drone's flight path, spraying, and return-to-home functions for increased safety and flexibility in navigating obstacles. * *Obstacle Avoidance: (**17:20** - **17:37**, **23:04** - **23:36**)* The T40 boasts a robust radar system and binocular vision which automatically detect and avoid obstacles, enhancing safety during autonomous operation. * *Signal Strength: (**22:56** - **23:04**)* The demonstration highlights the strong signal range of the remote, ensuring reliable control even at distances up to half a mile. *Additional Notes* * *Chemical Mixing: (**14:19** - **14:22**)* The video emphasizes the importance of a well-designed trailer setup for transport and chemical mixing to ensure proper product agitation and suspension, especially at higher concentrations used with drone spraying. * *Automatic Mixing Station: (**8:55** - **9:10**)* The video briefly mentions a forthcoming automatic chemical mixing station. * *Radar System: (**16:42** - **17:14**)* The T40 incorporates a forward-facing radar and camera system and turns around at the end of the field to optimize obstacle detection. i used gemini 1.5 pro
I only have a dji mini. It's quite awesome for a noobie in drones. It's really affordable for me which I never thought of could have one when I was younger. Wish the govt wouldn't put any crazy tariffs on it or even calling in the name of national security sake to ban it. It's just so much fun playing with it and shooting photos with it
I haven't seen all the videos yet but am interested in how you track maintenance intervals. There are reporting requirements in most exemptions I've seen for monthly input on flights, or even if zero flights. So I imagine there is a way to track number if flights, flight time and of course calendar intervals (most of them at 6 months IIRC). It would be nice to be able to see how you have that set up, beyond just flying it and showing its delivery capabilities.
i dont have an agras , i had an old dji phantom but with the phantom in the dji app , everytime you flight the app records the flight data , so probably this machine being modern and more expsive probably records too all the data to review and schedoule maintenance
Interesting. Saw one today outside Urbana, Ohio. Right next to the bike path we were riding on, as it flew right at us. I was fairly positive it wasn't going over us, it did stop and head back. And fortunately, we were up wind. Being a tech guy, I assumed it was GPS guided and autonomous. Which begs the question, when using this near populated areas, it doesn't know if people/pets/animals are nearby. Our local farmers will stop spraying in their high rigs if walkers or cyclists go by and they're attentive to wind direction.
I understand your concerns! But 99.99 US farms are located outside commuter traffic. You are right, nobody wants to be sprayed to sickness! This video is all about how technology can make it easy and profitable for every farmer anywhere.Anyway, so long as our brother/ sister has the remote in their hands, we are safe! Big bike is bigger obstacle than a big tree! The operator can cut the spray anytime!
Of course, you could improve your cycle time by moving your trailer/chemicals such that you minimize the distance when the 9 gallons runout, instead of always returning to the same "home" position. I imagine you could do that on your flight planner. Interesting idea, and have to imagine the cost/benefits being comparable to traditional drop dusters - I would be curious to see the breakdown/comparisons.
If you are talking about driving into the field to shorten the distance, alot of farmers try and reduce ground compaction that is some of the reasons for aerial spray application.
@@Stubby0266 Agreed, but I am suggesting move down the dirt road that is already at the ends of the field rows. The roads that are "normal to" the field rows, not parallel to. The road, for example, in timestamp 18:34 where is right should is.
It is amazing to watch. there are two questions I have. First question is the drone motor protection to avoid the moisture of chemical built up in the motor overtime. The second question is an estimate for the set up you have in video inlcuding, drone, batteries, mixing chemical machine.
We use 2 chargers and 6 batteries. We sometimes will have to wait a few minutes if its a hot day or if we are doing high gpm work. We are planning to get a second drone with another charger and 3 more batteries to swarm them on ant bait, pecan zinc applications, or mosquito spray jobs and the like.
This is awesome! I've been thinking of working for myself again but not knowing what has been a problem. I live in the country here in Australia where farming is the main industry. I had wondered about the cost per acre, number of acres per day etc if it would be a viable thing to set up & be a contractor? A very informative video, thank you!
This is super cool but as someone who grew up on a farm I feel like this is way more of a pain in the ass than using a driving sprayer and much less efficient. none the less very impressive machine.
We're currently in discussion with someone who works in mosquito control. He said, "We have been using our T40 daily. It has helped us so much in our work. It makes things much more efficient in how we operate. We can treat so much more in a much shorter time frame."
@@nikofong2304 But these animals are also sources of disease. You don't want the blood of someone with AIDS to stay in your body, and there are also various animal diseases.
Having broken three arms on my Bugs 3 in an unexpected airborne power off mistake, I've searched & searched for a replacement, but everywhere it's unavailable & I can't FLY
I am very impressed with the use of drones in the agriculture industry. Does the ongoing effort to ban DJI drones impact the agriculture business? Do you have to use an app that tells the FAA about the location, duration, and purpose of the drone operation?
Is all of this actually better then just spraying with a tractor? I understand that when refilling, batteryswap etc are all automatic this would be way supperior...but right now it feels like a hassel.
Nice video man, very informative and well explained. Professionals do make things seam easy, right? 😉 I have been following these agricultural drones for quite some tome now and i think they are at the level ( farmers and the infrastructure too ) when they can and could be implemented widely and become part of a farmers implement. I do live in Europe now and seriously contemplating to even become a dealer here. So, any advice is welcomed here 🥸especially if you do recommend to whom to address here in the EU for such an endeavor? Godspeed mate😇
Currently EU banned almost all aerial spraying, that regulation mainly targets traditional fixed-wing airplane spraying but drone spraying is also classified into aerial spraying. It's gonna take several years to amend the regulation.
@@ycl3408 I am sure bureaucrates in Brusels make everything about this kind of spraying ilegal and wrong but that is ok as long as some other twisted stuff is allowed in EU, right? Hate to talk politics but just got back from Hague for instance, just a few blocks from ICC where we condemn world criminals there is a red light district with prostitutes, drugs,….world is gone crazy. But yeah, let’s not let a hardworking men and women make an honest living and feed the world.
Could you adjust your home point while the drones in flight? As the rows are getting further from the take off, could you drive closer to where the drones working and have it come back to there instead? Looks very useful
Hello. I am a farmer with a t40. when in open fields i land the drone near the point it finished the spraying tank. then drive to the new position and fill and change batteries. we don't do it every time but when there is a considerable distance we prefer to do that to achieve more coverage and save on energy/batteries.
I don’t even farm and now I want one. Incredible demonstration

Very cool. Another 5 years of innovation and improvements you won’t need a human aside from loading water and perhaps chemicals.
Yep this tech is still very much in its infancy. It’s gonna be insane once it’s fully automated.

Of course, you could improve your cycle time by moving your trailer/chemicals such that you minimize the distance when the 9 gallons runout, instead of always returning to the same "home" position. I imagine you could do that on your flight planner. Interesting idea, and have to imagine the cost/benefits being comparable to traditional drop dusters - I would be curious to see the breakdown/comparisons.
If you are talking about driving into the field to shorten the distance, alot of farmers try and reduce ground compaction that is some of the reasons for aerial spray application.
@@Stubby0266 Agreed, but I am suggesting move down the dirt road that is already at the ends of the field rows. The roads that are "normal to" the field rows, not parallel to. The road, for example, in timestamp 18:34 where is right should is.
I think you could have 3-4 of these and have these arriving to refill at different times
@@reubs91 I'm sure Agri Spray Drones would love that ..... 🤣
@@truegret7778 he should buy 3 or 4 hundred of them imagine the sky goes dark with drones spraying 🤣
very well thought out demonstration, if I drone needs in the future I will contact you 100%
Does it make adjustments for cross winds? This looks to be a very calm day.
It is amazing to watch. there are two questions I have. First question is the drone motor protection to avoid the moisture of chemical built up in the motor overtime. The second question is an estimate for the set up you have in video inlcuding, drone, batteries, mixing chemical machine.
New business idea ready to go
We use 2 chargers and 6 batteries. We sometimes will have to wait a few minutes if its a hot day or if we are doing high gpm work. We are planning to get a second drone with another charger and 3 more batteries to swarm them on ant bait, pecan zinc applications, or mosquito spray jobs and the like.
my university have two t40, it is so big and so amazing when i watched them
It is amazing and a bit scary at the same time. It is like watching a Terminator movie hehe.
Great video! Thank you Very much for sharing!
Nice product but anti-glare screen would have been nice on the controller.
That is so DAM COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is awesome! I've been thinking of working for myself again but not knowing what has been a problem. I live in the country here in Australia where farming is the main industry. I had wondered about the cost per acre, number of acres per day etc if it would be a viable thing to set up & be a contractor? A very informative video, thank you!
With each passing day, terminator is looking more like a documentary than a scifi movie.
This is truly amazing technology, i can see this thing saving lives by putting out forest fires. It is mind blowing 🤯...Thank you for the demo!!!
The Chinese conquering the Americans.
This is super cool but as someone who grew up on a farm I feel like this is way more of a pain in the ass than using a driving sprayer and much less efficient. none the less very impressive machine.
I learned a lot from this video, thank you.
Wow! Your work is amazing. I’d really love to have a job like this! Awesome!
Great video sir. Very informative
Where can I buy the fill through cap????
I wonder how the price compares to the old way of small plane passes. What’s cheaper ?
I’m in the pest control industry, this would be awesome for mosquito control. And doing large property’s for flea and ticks
We're currently in discussion with someone who works in mosquito control. He said, "We have been using our T40 daily. It has helped us so much in our work. It makes things much more efficient in how we operate. We can treat so much more in a much shorter time frame."
maybe I think too much, but you shouldn't kill bugs if it didn't bite you, they are some other animal's food
@@nikofong2304 But these animals are also sources of disease. You don't want the blood of someone with AIDS to stay in your body, and there are also various animal diseases.
@@木鱼老汉半夜敲 ok, if that is the case
Do you have heating problems? I live in a area where it gets 110 degrees would that be a problem
Wow, that is amazing. The savings you get compared to using a manned aircraft I'll bet is substantial.
Honestly not really by the time u figure out all the break down time and insurance costs u need at least 5k acres to break even.
When a redneck breeds with is tech dork...you have this guy . 😂
How do you crosswinds affect the swath?
Without auto refill and charging the operators is required the entire time. How is the viable vs conventional methods? Is it faster?
U have to have a person out there with you at all times to be a visual line of sight person, plus the drone operator
Amazing technology. How do your drones handle uneven terrain? Our ranch has a lot of hills and some steep terrain.
Having broken three arms on my Bugs 3 in an unexpected airborne power off mistake,
I've searched & searched for a replacement, but everywhere it's unavailable & I can't FLY
Could you show us a demo in eastern Ukraine??
Asking for a friend.
Do you have a napalm flamethrower option??
Could be very helpful in removing pests.
I am very impressed with the use of drones in the agriculture industry. Does the ongoing effort to ban DJI drones impact the agriculture business? Do you have to use an app that tells the FAA about the location, duration, and purpose of the drone operation?
Is all of this actually better then just spraying with a tractor? I understand that when refilling, batteryswap etc are all automatic this would be way supperior...but right now it feels like a hassel.
I wondered the same, especially as I'm thinking of buying this set up to contract my self out.
Yes, but at what price?
Awesome demo 👏👏👏👏👏
do you need all of this machines to work out the drone? or just the drone itself? and the battery charger
Nice video man, very informative and well explained. Professionals do make things seam easy, right? 😉
I have been following these agricultural drones for quite some tome now and i think they are at the level ( farmers and the infrastructure too ) when they can and could be implemented widely and become part of a farmers implement. I do live in Europe now and seriously contemplating to even become a dealer here. So, any advice is welcomed here 🥸especially if you do recommend to whom to address here in the EU for such an endeavor? Godspeed mate😇
Currently EU banned almost all aerial spraying, that regulation mainly targets traditional fixed-wing airplane spraying but drone spraying is also classified into aerial spraying. It's gonna take several years to amend the regulation.
@@ycl3408 I am sure bureaucrates in Brusels make everything about this kind of spraying ilegal and wrong but that is ok as long as some other twisted stuff is allowed in EU, right? Hate to talk politics but just got back from Hague for instance, just a few blocks from ICC where we condemn world criminals there is a red light district with prostitutes, drugs,….world is gone crazy. But yeah, let’s not let a hardworking men and women make an honest living and feed the world.
Very impressive.
Also how many charge per battery with quick charge everytime
thats a big ass drone holy
Awesome. Is there a 20 or 30 gal tank model?
can you go steady all day with 3 batteries? with what you got there?
Will power-lines kick in the safety feature? This is truly a game changer for farmers.
Could you adjust your home point while the drones in flight? As the rows are getting further from the take off, could you drive closer to where the drones working and have it come back to there instead? Looks very useful
Hello. I am a farmer with a t40. when in open fields i land the drone near the point it finished the spraying tank. then drive to the new position and fill and change batteries. we don't do it every time but when there is a considerable distance we prefer to do that to achieve more coverage and save on energy/batteries.
@@xreneox thanks for that info
Good video 👍
