Heavy-Lift Precision: Mastering the 40L Agriculture Drone ClassWhen you transition from entry-level 10L units to a 40L agriculture drone like the DJI Agras T40, you aren’t just buying a bigger tank; you’re investing in commercial-grade efficiency. With a 40L (approx. 10.6 gallon) capacity, these machines are designed to bridge the gap between small-scale spot spraying and the massive 110-gallon industrial Sprayhawk, allowing you to cover up to 40+ acres per hour once you find your operational rhythm.

Step-by-Step Setup & Operational Guide
Power Sequencing: Always check your connectors for carbon buildup. In the 40L class, voltage sag is a real killer during the initial lift-off when the tank is at its 110lb max spread load.
Pump Priming: Ensure your Water Pumps are clear of air locks. We recommend a 5-second dry run to test the telemetry feedback before takeoff.
Calibration: Set your Spray Nozzles based on the crop density. The T40 drone thrives at a specific altitude to ensure the downwash optimizes leaf penetration.
Pro-Engineer Insights: Avoiding Field Failures
On Reddit and FPV forums, the most common complaint with heavy-lift ag drones is maintaining the “rhythm.” As one veteran pilot noted, you need to sync your battery charging cycles with your refill station to avoid downtime. Furthermore, while people often ask, “Can I shoot down a drone over my garden in the UK?” or worry about 250g weight limits, those hobbyist concerns don’t apply here. These are regulated agricultural aircraft; ensure you have the proper heavy-lift certifications (like Part 137 in the US) to operate legally and avoid the “random discussion thread” legal nightmares.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many gallons can a drone sprayer hold?
A standard 40L drone, such as the DJI Agras T40, holds approximately 10.6 gallons of liquid spray. When configured for spreading, it can handle a spread load of 110 pounds, totaling an equivalent volume of 18.5 gallons for multi-purpose missions.
What is the price of drone sprayer 10L vs 40L?
While a 10L drone sprayer typically costs between ₹349,000 and ₹474,800, the DJI Agras T40 price is significantly higher due to its 4x capacity and advanced mapping sensors. Expect to invest in a platform that offers higher ROI through increased acres-per-hour efficiency.
What is the largest drone for spraying crops?
The Sprayhawk drone is currently the world’s largest, featuring a 110-gallon (500 liters) capacity. However, for most commercial farmers, the 40L T40 drone remains the most practical balance of size and performance.
How much does drone spraying cost per hour?
Operating costs vary, but efficiency is key. New pilots usually average 20 acres per hour. With experience and optimized Ag Drone Batteries, pro operators can push the T40 drone to significantly higher throughput.
