New: Videos of DJI Agras T50 unboxing and performing a route mission. And it is flying so smooth on the slopes.
Brand new in April 2024, one of the most anticipated unmanned aircraft of the year. This agricultural UAV is a perfect example of a large organisation listening closely to customer feedback on previous models and integrating it into a masterpiece - the T50. If you can get one of these into your shed - no more waiting for spray contractors to show up, or for the ground to dry out. This flagship agricultural spray drone will eat up 140 hectares of cropping territory in a day without batting an eyelid and with its impressive phased array radars front and back it will just as happily spray your weeds up in the hilly tree country. Its made by DJI so the systems and software have been tested countless times – you’ll be getting the best of drone tech in 2024 – the best spraying efficiency, solid Ocusync 3 transmission tech, amazing controller experience, and seamless interaction with DJIs own RTK system and M3M mapping drone. What does all this mean for an Australian farmer? It means that when you use DJI equipment, it feels right and is well made. You might choose the T50 for the same reasons you chose the LandCruiser - it focuses on the right things and gets the job done.

By now you’ve probably heard of the spray drone hype going on ever since we had all that rain starting late 2023. So what’s behind it all and why are growers taking action?
Availability: By having a T50 yourself, you can spray/spread anytime, day or night in a moment's notice.
Efficacy: The drones' propellers sit just 3m off the ground, forcing the droplets down and circulating them to get more liquid on-target.
No ground compaction Meaning no yield loss & no machine wear from ground impacts.
Accuracy and precise control: Spray drones can get into steep areas you've never felt safe taking your tractor into.
Safety: spraying via drone allows you to stand back at a distance meaning reduced risk of chemical exposure.
The DFH Ag team has come up with our own reasons why we think the T50 is king
Spraying efficiency - the manufacturer quotes 21 ha per hour. This is higher than any other similar model in Australia, the T50 achieves this due to its upgraded speed and flow rate of 24L per min (running all 4 x spray lances).
Spreading efficiency - the manufacturer quotes 108 kg per minute (empties the hopper in about 30 secs), or 1.5 tonnes per hr. Also higher than any other similar model in Australia. The T50 spreader is larger than the T40 one and has a more consistent output rate of granules.
DJI is by far the largest drone maker in the world. Estimated more than 85% market share of the global drone market. Employing over 14,000 employees of which 25% are research and development-based, a testament to the company's list of world leading innovations and achievements. DJI’s depth and breadth of experience allows it to compound its strengths across multiple market segments such as agriculture, inspection, thermography, delivery, mapping and recreational flying.
Some spray drone manufacturers took the easy path - designed their machines for broad acre work – large flat areas with no trees or obstacles. These are easy conditions for the drone to perform in. Getting a spray drone to confidently navigate and spray in trickier country is much more difficult – steep terrain, trees, power lines, gully’s etc. The T50 has a uniquely powerful perception system - phased array digital radars on both the front and back, plus 2 x sets of binocular vision cameras. These features form a much more advanced overall perception system for the aircraft, enabling it to confidently move through and spray/spread on areas of your property you’ve never been able to access with a quad or tractor or quick spray setup.
T50 is the only choice if you're looking for a flexible multi-terrain machine. It is not simply a flying boom sprayer. Put your T50 to work on a wider variety of tasks such as seeding, stabilizing steep areas, spraying weeds in gully’s or rocky areas, spraying up close to trees and fence lines on ridges. And see a faster return on investment from your spray drone.
As with any farming machine, by buying the best and most ubiquitous spraying drone from the largest and best drone manufacturer in the world, you are making a relatively safe investment and will see a more reliable resale value than choosing a sub-par brand.
