Crop protection inputs are essential for maintaining healthy crops in these heavily irrigated areas. Discover how spray drones can provide a cost-effective option for pesticide applications.

While it’s true operators using drones under 55 lbs. are exempt from reporting flight data to the FAA, they still must maintain comprehensive records, which AcreConnect™ can help to maintain.

Learn how spray drones offer flexibility and efficiency for cover crop management.

In just six months, AcreConnect™ productivity software has introduced new features that help spray drone operators run their businesses.

Whether you’re a tech-savvy, long-time drone operator looking for a new spray drone that’s durable and efficient, a beginner seeking a user-friendly option, or a current drone user looking to diversify or expand your fleet, this comparison will provide valuable insights to help you make an informed decision. Let’s explore the unique features, strengths, and weaknesses of these drones, and see how they stack up against each other. To learn more about each drone and their key differences, be sure to watch our video. DJI T40: User-Friendly and Intuitive DJI, a well-known name in the drone industry for its consumer camera drones, emphasizes user-friendliness and quick deployment in their agricultural spray drones, such as the DJI Agras T40. These drones utilize best-in-class cameras and advanced communication systems between the remote controller and the drone. The T40 comes with a high-definition first-person view (FPV) gimbal camera. This camera allows the operator to see the drone’s path through the controller, aiding in flight control and obstacle avoidance. The T40 is also equipped with a spherical radar obstacle detection system that perceives obstacles and surroundings while eliminating blind spots in most environments and viewing angles. This system, paired with the FPV camera, allows the T40 to detect obstacles quicker than the P100 Pro, giving the operator a sense of ease. One key feature of the T40 is the remote controller (RC). The RC is massive and has a large 7-inch screen, which provides a wider perspective with finer detail. The app interface and communication system are very intuitive, making it more user-friendly for those who are not so tech-savvy. XAG P100 Pro: A Focus on Durability and Productivity The P100 Pro is a product of XAG, an ag-tech company that designs drones with agricultural needs in mind. Their drones are built to be durable, stable, productive, and efficient. The P100 Pro stands out with its larger tank capacity (50L compared to the T40’s 40L) and almost double the output of the pumps. This makes the P100 Pro a great choice for those who want a drone that can spray a higher output or higher gallons per acre (GPA) without compromising productivity. One of the key features of the P100 Pro is its stretchy rubber tubing. This design ensures that the tubing doesn’t start leaking over time, even if the tubing is frequently disconnected and reconnected during maintenance. The P100 Pro also has fewer parts and more interchangeable components, making maintenance and repairs easier. However, one downside is that it’s not as user-friendly as some other models. Training someone on the XAG system can be a bit more challenging due to its complex features.

This blog will help you understand the 5 key differences between two leading spray drone models on the market, the DJI T40 and DJI T50.
