DJI’s agricultural division just stepped up its game in China with two new heavy-duty farm drones – the Agras T100 and T70. These workhorses are built to carry more payload and offer improved spreading capabilities compared to previous models, according to DroneNR.
T100: The New Flagship Farm Drone
The T100 is making waves as DJI’s most capable agricultural drone yet. With a massive 149.9 kg (330.4 lbs) maximum takeoff weight, it’s designed to handle serious farming operations. It can carry up to 100 liters of fertilizer and lift an impressive 85 kg (187.4 lbs).
What’s really catching attention is its quick 9-minute charging time and enhanced AI-powered sensor system. These features make it more efficient and safer to operate in challenging farm environments.
T70: The Versatile Mid-Range Option
The T70 might be smaller, but it’s no lightweight. This model comes in two variants:
- Standard T70: 50-liter tank capacity
- T70P: Enhanced 70-liter tank capacity with more powerful battery
Both versions can lift up to 65 kg (143.3 lbs) and feature an 8-minute charging time. The total takeoff weight comes in at 70 kg (154.3 lbs).
DroneXL’s Take
These new agricultural drones represent a significant step forward in drone technology. With their impressive lifting capabilities and smart features, they’re exactly what modern farming needs. We’ve been covering the evolution of agricultural drones, and it’s clear that DJI is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in precision agriculture. The quick charging times and enhanced AI systems show that DJI is listening to farmers’ needs for efficiency and safety.
