Frequently Asked Questions

Come to a demo day at Horsham or Manjimup before you spend anything. Watch a loaded aircraft work a plot, ask what a season actually costs to run, and see the ground setup that decides how much you cover. From there the order is usually: sort your RePL and type rating, pick the kit that matches your country, then add a ReOC if you intend to spray for other people.

Tell us when suits and we host you at our Horsham VIC or Manjimup WA base, whichever is closer, at no cost. We fly a loaded Agras over a real plot so you can judge swath, droplets and how long a run takes, then walk you through the generator, batteries and refill setup that decide your daily hectares. We also work through your country and local rates, and explain where the RePL, type rating and ReOC fit. We ring beforehand to confirm the date, the aircraft flying and what to bring. There is no obligation to buy.

Some of our customers run it as their main income and others use it to cover their own spraying. It comes down to your local rates, how much ground is within reasonable travel, and how fast you can turn a refill around. We would rather sit down and work through your numbers honestly than quote you someone else's best week.

It is priced separately. Kit prices cover the hardware only, so you pay for the training you actually need. Onsite Setup and Training brings one of our pilots to your property for a full day to commission the aircraft and charging gear, lay out the mixing and refill station, and fly real jobs with you; it covers Victoria and southern NSW, with other states quoted. It is not a CASA licence course: the RePL, type rating and ReOC are booked separately.

Block size, terrain and how many people you have on the ground decide most of it. The T25P suits orchards, vineyards and small or steep blocks, one person can handle it, and it needs the smallest generator of the four. The T50 is the proven all-rounder with a 40 L tank. The T70P carries 70 L and shares the T100's batteries and charging, but senses with radar and vision only. The T100 carries the most and adds LiDAR, which earns its keep in steep, rocky or obstacle-heavy country. Ring 1300 916 075 or book a demo and we will match one to your ground.

Both come with the aircraft, controller and three flight batteries. The difference is where charging power comes from. Our Spray Kits and the T25P Charger Bundle include a DJI charging station, the C12000 on the T100 and T70P or the C8000 on the T50 and T25P, and suit operators with mains power at the shed; the C12000 needs three-phase to charge at full speed. Generator kits bring their own power to the paddock: on the T100, T70P and T50, a D14000iE inverter generator takes the place of the station and charges the batteries directly (the T50's DB1560 plugs in through DJI's adapter cable, which our T50 Generator Kits include), while the T25P Generator Bundle keeps the C8000 and adds a D6000i inverter generator.

Our parts finder lists genuine DJI parts for the T100, T70P, T50 and T25P with prices. Pick your drone, then the assembly, and find the part on the diagram, from arms and pumps down to seals and screws, or search by DJI part number. If a part has no listing, ring 1300 916 075 and we will track it down. If something you order is not on hand, we contact you with an expected dispatch date before the order goes any further. With an aircraft grounded mid-season, ring first and we will check availability before you pay.

Yes. Every price on the site, including shipping, is in Australian dollars and already includes 10% GST. Nothing is added on top when you pay: the checkout and your tax invoice simply show the GST component that is already inside the price, so you are never charged GST twice.

Yes, through equipment finance brokers we work with regularly. Tell us which kit you're looking at and we'll put you in touch.

The T100 is the bigger, smarter machine: a 75 L spray payload (in Australia), 30–40 L/min flow rate, LiDAR plus radar sensing out to 60 m, and the newer RC Plus 2 controller. The T50 carries 40 L, sprays at 16 L/min (24 L/min with the four-nozzle kit), and senses to 50 m with phased-array radar and binocular vision, with no LiDAR. In the field the T100 averages around 18.5 ha/hour against the T50's 17, and carries nearly twice the load per flight, so roughly 20–25% less time and labour to cover the same ground.

CASA classifies drones by weight, and the medium category tops out at 150 kg. The Australian T100 is capped at 149.9 kg maximum take-off weight so it stays a medium RPA, the same licensing category as the T50, which keeps your type rating and ReOC pathway simple. That weight cap is what limits the usable payload to 75 L or 75 kg out of the 100 L physical tank.

Real-world numbers from broadacre operators: a T50 covers around 17 ha/hour on cotton at 20 L/ha, and 130 ha in a day is a good day. The T100 averages 18.5 ha/hour (peaking around 30) and around 220 ha/day. In practice your bottleneck is refills and battery swaps, not flight speed, which is exactly why an efficient ground and pump setup pays for itself.

The T70P carries 70 L of liquid or 70 kg of granular product with a 4–11 m swath, close to T100 capacity at a lower price. The trade-off is sensing: the T70P uses vision and radar only, while the T100 adds LiDAR, which matters in steep, rocky, or obstacle-heavy country. On tall crops like sugar cane the T100's stronger downwash also lets it spray 1–2 m/s faster at the same coverage quality.

Yes, it's the entry point into the Agras range. A 20 L spray tank, 30 L spreading hopper, 7 m swath, and about 33 kg means one person can handle it, and in the field it needs only DJI's D6000i generator, or a third-party generator of at least 6 kW running the C8000 station. It runs the same double-atomising centrifugal nozzles as the T50 (16 L/min standard, 24 L/min with the four-nozzle upgrade). One thing to note: its batteries are not cross-compatible with the T50's.

It scales with the drone. A T25P charges from DJI's D6000i generator, or from the C8000 station on a third-party generator of at least 6 kW at 220–240 V; a T50 runs the C8000 charging station off a single-phase generator of at least 8 kW, with both 15 A leads connected for full speed; the T100 charges fastest on the C12000 with a three-phase generator of at least 15 kW (8–9 minutes), or the C10000 with a 15 kVA single-phase unit. With three batteries in rotation you can fly continuously. Our Generator Kits are specced to match the drone they ship with.

DJI warrants the T50's DB1560 battery, and the DB2160 used by the T100 and T70P, for 1,500 charge cycles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Expect around 10 minutes of flight at full payload (the T100's 41 Ah DB2160 and the T50's 30 Ah DB1560 alike) with a charge time about the same, so a standard three-battery kit keeps one on the drone, one charging, and one ready.

Yes, and the spreading results are some of the most impressive in the lineup. The T50's hopper holds 75 L (about 50 kg) and spreads at up to 108 kg/min; the T100's 150 L hopper (75 kg in Australia) pushes up to 400 kg/min; the T25P carries 30 L. The spreader attachment swaps onto the airframe in minutes, so one machine handles urea, seed, and spray work.

The M3M captures multispectral imagery, NDVI and similar indices, that shows crop health, soil variation, and weed pressure you can't see in a normal photo. Map a paddock, shade the weed patches into a prescription map, and your Agras flies a planned route to spot-spray each patch, with the pilot ready to take over at any moment, as Victoria's licence conditions require. Spot spraying runs around 2–3 times the efficiency of blanket coverage and uses 20–60% less chemical. It remains DJI's dedicated multispectral mapping drone for agriculture, and ours comes with 12 months of DJI Care Enterprise Basic.

A self-propelled sprayer covers more ground per day, roughly what four T50s can do, but costs $800k+ and can't touch wet paddocks. Drones fly over soft ground with zero compaction, burn no diesel, and use cheap modular parts. Against helicopters, the drone's rotors sit 3–4 m above the crop and drive droplets down under the canopy, with RTK accuracy near 10 mm. One documented spot-spray job, 5 ha of weeds scattered over a rough 20 ha block, took 5–7 hours by drone versus 4–5 days by hand.

There is no set number of years. An Agras is modular, so the parts that wear, such as propellers, nozzles, seals, pump parts and the odd motor, are replaced one at a time rather than retiring the aircraft, and most crash damage is repaired by swapping the broken arm, boom or landing gear. DJI warrants the flight batteries for 1,500 charge cycles or 12 months, whichever comes first, and on a busy operation they are usually the first big replacement. Cleaning it properly after every job and servicing it between seasons go a long way.

Yes. Grey and black-market units imported outside the Australian channel carry no local warranty, may run wrong-region firmware, and can void your insurance when the serial number doesn't match an authorised sale. Every drone we sell is genuine Australian stock with the full DJI warranty and local parts support behind it. A DJI Care Enterprise plan also binds only to a unit bought through DJI's authorised channel for the region it is flown in.

Yes, from two regulators. CASA covers the flying: every Agras we sell takes off at more than 25 kg, so the pilot needs a RePL with a type rating, and once you spray for payment the business also needs a ReOC. Your state covers the chemicals. In Victoria that means an RPA agricultural aircraft operator licence and an RPA pilot chemical rating licence from Agriculture Victoria; in NSW, RPA business and pilot licences from the EPA. For paid work, both states want the ReOC in place before they issue the business licence. The answers below cover each step.

A Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) with a type rating for your Agras model, and the drone registered with CASA. Every Agras weighs more than 25 kg, which makes it a medium drone, so the rating is needed even when you only spray your own land. You don't need a ReOC as long as the land and the drone are yours, nobody pays you, and you fly within CASA's standard operating conditions: by day, in sight, one drone at a time. Your state's chemical rules still apply. In Victoria that means an RPA operator licence and a pilot chemical rating licence, even on your own land; in WA, two chemical training units.

Spraying your own land, in our licensing guide

Spraying someone else's land as a business requires a third credential on top of your RePL and type rating: a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operator's Certificate (ReOC). The ReOC shows CASA you have the procedures in place to operate safely on unfamiliar properties, it involves preparing an operations manual, responding to a mission scenario, and passing an interview with a CASA delegate.

The RePL (Remote Pilot Licence) is CASA's licence to fly a drone for work, and for a drone over 25 kg such as an Agras it carries a type-specific rating for your model. Training runs through a CASA-certified provider: a theory component, often done online, a theory exam, then practical training and a flight test on the type of drone you'll fly. How long it takes depends on the provider and your experience. Our RePL courses and the Agras type rating are on our training page with current prices.

Training and licensing courses

A type rating (also called an endorsement) certifies you to fly a specific large drone, such as the T50 or T100. It's a practical assessment, roughly two hours of flying with an assessor watching your manoeuvres, pre-flight checks, and hazard awareness. Type ratings don't expire, but they are drone-specific: a T50 rating does not cover the T100, though prior Agras experience makes the next rating much quicker.

Your initial ReOC is valid for 12 months, and renewals last up to 3 years. Renew before it expires, a lapsed ReOC can't be renewed and means starting the whole application again. If you add a different drone later, check first: CASA treats adding a new type of drone as a significant change that needs the ReOC reissued, and for drones over 25 kg the certificate names the manufacturer and model. Adding another aircraft within what you're already approved for is a non-significant change you notify within 21 days.

The ReOC, in our licensing guide

Yes, CASA covers the flying, but applying agricultural chemicals is regulated separately by each state, each with its own authority and licences. Victoria requires an Agricultural Aircraft Operator Licence and Pilot Chemical Rating Licence through Agriculture Victoria; NSW requires RPA Applicator Pilot and Business licences through the EPA; Queensland requires a Pilot Chemical Rating Licence and Aerial Distribution Contractor Licence through the DPI; WA, SA, NT, and Tasmania each have their own permit and licence schemes. The common thread: nearly every state requires the training units AHCCHM307 (prepare and apply chemicals) and AHCCHM304 (transport and store chemicals). Our courses cover the CASA side; state chemical licences are applied for with your state regulator, and our licensing guide sets out Victoria and WA in detail.

Chemical licensing by state, in our licensing guide

Yes. Every spray drone must be registered through the myCASA portal before you fly, registration costs $40 and is valid for 12 months. You'll also need an Aviation Reference Number (ARN), which is free and works like a passport number for your aviation records.

Yes. Our ReOC service writes an operations manual built for aerial application, prepares your chief remote pilot for the CASA interview, and lodges the application and manages it end to end, with CASA fees included. If you are starting from scratch, the Contractor Kit adds the RePL and Agras type rating so one contact looks after all of it. State chemical licences are applied for with your state authority rather than CASA; tell us where you operate and we will help with what yours requires.

We do. Our own technicians handle crash damage, faults, routine servicing and warranty work on DJI Agras aircraft at Horsham VIC and Manjimup WA, using genuine DJI parts. Send photos of the damage through our repairs page so we can quote, with a turnaround, before the aircraft leaves the farm. Then drop it at either base or we will help arrange freight; talk to us before sending flight batteries, as they are dangerous goods. For equipment bought from us, we lodge the warranty claim with DJI for you. If a Matrice, Mavic 3 Multispectral or Zenmuse payload that came with DJI Care Enterprise is damaged in an accident, the repair is claimed under that plan and handled by DJI; call us first and we will help you start the claim.

Most of them do. The Matrice 4E, Matrice 4T and Matrice 400 include 12 months of DJI Care Enterprise Plus, and the Zenmuse L3 LiDAR comes with its own 12 months of Plus. Plus repairs accidental damage from a collision, water or a mistake at the controls free, as often as needed, until DJI's coverage amount for that product is used up, and the Matrice 4E and 4T plans add one flyaway replacement a year for a fee. The Mavic 3 Multispectral and the Zenmuse P1, H30, H30T and L2 include 12 months of DJI Care Enterprise Basic: up to two accident replacements, each for a fixed DJI fee. DJI pays the freight both ways within Australia, a plan can be renewed before it runs out for up to three years of cover in total, and DJI's standard warranty still covers faults. The Dock 3 itself is not covered by DJI Care Enterprise; for the Matrice 4D and 4TD, the Zenmuse S1 and V1 and the D-RTK 3 station, ask us what is included before you order. Agras spray drones carry DJI's standard warranty and are not part of DJI Care Enterprise, and neither is the FlyCart 100.
