I’m looking to get into this business so, I’d like to see a more in-depth breakdown of your operating cost, fuel, insurance, etc as well as what all you’re applying and how many acres, fungicide, fertilizer, herbicide, cover crop, etc. Thanks!
I'm about to get into spraying and your always talking about the trailer. Can you do one on you getting all the chemicals doing to mix/how your mixing then going to spray? I would love to see the hole process. Thanks and keep it up.
I bought a T40 and started a business based on this hype. Hoped to get a NuWay trailer for next season but so far we’re lucky if we can cover 25 acres and hour at 2 gpa, 30 ft swath, and max speed. It’s hard to get through a day without it “loosing connection” and crashing, breaking $1k worth of blades each time. So far I have not been able to replicate what everyone shows on UA-cam.
You can "do 500-1000 acres a day", but do you actually ever do that? Whats a reasonable expectation for an applicator to do in an average month. I'm guessing you won't answer that.
This was our 1st year spraying in NW Iowa and SE South Dakota. We have 2 T-40's. We have our own trailer that we built and have found many things that we need to change. In the very hilly fields (80-160 Acres) in SE SD that we had very limited access to it was very slow going. A lot of flying around to get to your spots that needed spraying. I had loads that we would only fill to 5 gallons and still run out of battery before being completely empty. A very good day out there in that type of environment for us was 170-220 acres with 2 drones. In that flatter lands in NW Iowa we could rock and roll pretty good. We could average about 25-30 acres/hour/drone when spraying. Load time hurt our productivity when spraying. Travel time is what really hurt us. A good day in that type of environment was about 300-325 acres a day. We have many things we are going to change on the trailer to help with the load time, but travel time is going to be hard to change. Hope that helps you.
Mike “energy” yoder! I’d like to see a time lapse of pulling up to a job, getting out of truck, mixing, untying drone etc. thx for the vids!

same
I can’t wait to start mine. This has been one of my dreams for a few years.
They were at our farm doing the corn. Those drones were impressive. We would have them back again. thanks
Very cool... I would love to do that..
Show the plumbing with the tanks and how you have those set up. Also the chemical mixing!
Yess more in depth please!

Same here. I know exactly what you're feeling and dealing with
@@LyndonKreider I’m really starting to suspect that DJI has purposely corrupted the T40 firmware in an effort to push more T50 sales.
Due to obstacles? And line of sight? Or what’s going on. I was looking into this
Hey Mike love the videos. was hoping you could a trailer build video of your mixing setup. Watching from Australia
How do you go about getting clients? and what type of deals do you do, Seasonal subscription/per acre/per hour/per field????
Does this completely spray the edge of the field? It always seems like it leaves quite a few feet from the first row seeded?
I would like a very detailed tutorial of every step if u can
Great video! How much do you charge per acre?
I wanna see how you program your fields to spray 2 or more drones on one field
I would like to see a video about coverage. Cause it looks pretty nice in the videos but what about the results?
Is there a reason you don’t map and make boundaries with a Mavic ?
They do.
Thanks for having litres but would be good to have hectares too
Can you show the Chem mixing setup and how you keep up with it.. show us it in action
This, absolutely!

No, Mike can't..

@@scottdejong1307Do you think this is something someone with no AG experience could learn?
@@scottdejong1307 Very helpful, thank you sir
@@scottdejong1307still good money for sure. That’s really nice. I hope they figure out the software for not flat fields.
