The T20 is an excellent choice because it’s about the same cost as the T10 but has double the tank capacity (20L), and much higher max spray rate of 6L/min (T10 is 2.4L/min). T20 owners also love that you can pull the tank out and swap in a new one when it lands (the T30 tank is not removable). Whilst the T10 and T30 are more recently released models, the T20 still has many of the same capabilities including a terrain tracking radar, FPV camera, and the ability to make prescription maps (using Terra software) from a Phantom 4 RTK / Multispectral map. The T20 is also lighter and more compact than the T30 – easier to handle and transport. Overall a very good choice if you have the budget for a T10 but want to cover more ground per day of spraying/spreading.

Update 13/10/21: Likely a wet summer coming – will your spray vehicles get bogged?
The BOM Severe Weather Outlook, Oct 2021 - Apr 2022, suggests we're likely to see average to above-average rainfall, particularly over the northern and eastern parts of Australia. There are parts of the country where the landscape is already quite wet so it won't take too much rain to see flooding. It may be good timing to consider a spray drone now if your spray vehicles are susceptible to getting bogged.
With every spray drone sold, DFH supports our customers in 5 key ways:
1. A full day equipment set up and training session, face to face on your property or an agreed location. Via Google Meet online if a particularly remote location. DFH is an official DJI authorised dealer for agricultural spray drones.
2. A complimentary Phantom 4 RTK flight to contour map the first section of your property that you wish to spray first (up to 100 acres). Particularly useful if you have hilly or complicated terrain to spray.
3. Credit for receiving spray drone job inquiries from our job inquiries marketplace (30,000 inquiries processed). Very handy if you wish to use your spray drone as a commercial business or just to pick up the odd local job.
4. Extensive T10 and T30 parts supply locally in Sydney for express shipping to customers when your spray drone is out of action. Considerable T20 parts also in stock and some MG-1P parts.
5. An extra set of Tee jet nozzle tips to suit your application and goals (your choice of fine mist or heavier droplet size tips, AI or non-AI).

Choosing a spray drone manufacturer
At DFH we sell and recommend DJI spray drones and we are an official DJI dealer. DJI accounts for 75%+ of the world's total drone market and is known as the Apple of the drone industry. In 2018 DJI raised roughly $1 billion in funds and has 14,000 employees and 17 offices internationally. DJI's factories in Shenzhen include highly sophisticated automated assembly lines. Many of the components for these assembly lines are built in-house. We believe DJI has the best engineers, production lines, and the most innovative spray drones in the world. Other brands will follow but will find it very difficult to catch up to DJI's standard of dependability and safety. We forecast that spray drones will soon have onboard mapping, plant species classification, and spot spraying in real-time, and that DJI will be at the forefront of these innovations, delivering them to market after they have been thoroughly tested.
Optimised Power. Unrivaled Performance
The Agras T20 has an improved overall structure with modular design and supports the highest payload and widest spray width ever in a DJI agricultural drone. With powerful hardware, an AI engine, and 3D-operation planning, the T20 brings operation efficiency to a whole new level.
Revolutionised Structure
With a robust modular design, the T20 folds and unfolds in seconds, making it more portable than other agricultural drones
The T20 features a payload of 20 L coupled with a spray width of 7 m, making the operation more efficient. Both the battery and spray tank are easily swappable, significantly improving the efficiency of power and liquid supply.
Higher Payload. Enhanced Efficiency
The T20 comes equipped with 8 nozzles and high-volume pumps that can spray at a rate of up to 6 L/min. A highly optimized wind field produces droplets ideal in size and consistency. The T20 is also equipped with a new 4-channel electromagnetic flow meter, which monitors and controls four hoses individually, ensuring an efficient flow rate for each nozzle.
Powerful Flight System
The all-new modular aerial-electronics system in the T20 has dual IMUs and barometers and adopts a propulsion signal redundancy design to ensure flight safety.
The GNSS+RTK dual-redundancy system supports centimeter-level positioning. It also supports dual-antenna technology that provides strong resistance against magnetic interference.
Increased Flight Safety
The T20 is equipped with an omnidirectional digital radar, which is able to detect obstacles from all horizontal directions. It can also automatically circumvent obstacles while flying over various terrains, ensuring a high level of operational safety. The T20 also comes with a real-time FPV camera and two searchlights, providing users with comprehensive live views even at night.
All-New Agras Smart Controller
DJI has successfully elevated the performance of the T20 thanks to the new programmable Agras Smart Controller 2.0 and the DJI Agras app. In addition, the smart controller comes with an ultra-bright 5.5-inch display. It also supports external battery packs and can last twice as long as other remote controllers, perfect for lengthy or heavy workloads
