The 60kg Payload Revolution: Why the DJI Agras T60 is the New Gold Standard for Smart Farming
As a senior engineer who has seen the evolution from 10L prototypes to the current 124kg MTOW beasts, the DJI Agras T60 represents a massive leap in operational efficiency. By fusing Active Phased Array Radar with a Trinocular Fisheye Vision system, this drone doesn’t just fly; it perceives. Whether you are managing complex orchards or 1,000-acre broadacre farms, the T60 delivers a 150-200% productivity gain over previous generations, covering up to 50 hectares per hour with surgical precision.
Real-World Use Cases: From Mountain Orchards to Broadacre VRA
The T60 is engineered for two distinct high-stakes environments. In Orchard Mode, the dual-vision radar fusion allows the drone to navigate 30-degree slopes, avoiding power lines and branches that would ground lesser platforms. In Large-Scale Row Cropping, the Variable Rate Application (VRA) system uses multispectral mapping to adjust flow rates on the fly. This means you aren’t just dumping chemicals; you are optimizing every drop, significantly increasing ROI by reducing waste by up to 50%.

Pros and Cons: An Engineer’s Perspective
The Pros: إن Centrifugal Atomization system is a game-changer. Unlike traditional Spray Nozzles that clog with thick suspensions, these self-cleaning atomizers allow for 50-500μm droplet adjustment. Furthermore, the Smart Battery Management system, paired with a 9,650W EFI generator, allows for a 9-minute rapid charge, keeping the drone in the air rather than on the trailer.
The Cons: As discussed in recent industry circles (and on Reddit), drones over 55lbs require manual FAA paper registration, which can be a hurdle for beginners. Additionally, while the T60 is highly autonomous, the logistical reality is that it “needs water, needs to land, and needs an operator” for frequent reloads. You must ensure your Water Pumps and mixing stations are as fast as the drone itself to avoid bottlenecks.
Expert Tips for 24/7 Operations
Night Ops: Don’t fear the dark. The Active Phased Array Radar scans the airspace in 0.1s, making night spraying safer than daytime operations in high-heat conditions.
Battery Health: To get the full 1,500 cycles out of your Ag Drone Batteries, utilize the air-cooled heat dissipation during the EFI charging cycle.
Regulatory Awareness: With ongoing debates regarding the “DJI ban” and national security covered lists, always keep your firmware updated and maintain offline logs for compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DJI Agras T60 handle complex terrain with its dual-vision radar fusion?
The DJI Agras T60 utilizes Security System 3.0, which fuses dual Active Phased Array Radars with a Trinocular Fisheye Vision system. This 360-degree sensor fusion allows the drone to perceive power lines, branches, and uneven slopes with centimeter-level precision, enabling safe autonomous flight at a Max Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of up to 124kg.
What makes centrifugal atomization the industry standard for 2026 agriculture drones?
Unlike traditional pressure nozzles that clog easily, centrifugal atomizing nozzles are self-cleaning and allow real-time droplet size adjustment between 50-500μm. This technology ensures deep canopy penetration and reduces chemical drift by up to 60%, making it essential for high-precision crop protection.
How does Variable Rate Application (VRA) improve ROI in large-scale drone farming?
VRA leverages multispectral prescription maps to adjust chemical flow rates in real-time based on crop health. In 2026, drones like the T60 can reduce fertilizer and pesticide waste by 30-50%, treating only the zones that require intervention rather than the entire field.
What is the charging efficiency and battery lifespan of the T60?
The 40,000mAh DB2100 smart battery supports ultra-fast 9-12 minute charging when paired with a 9,650W EFI generator. These batteries feature air-cooled heat dissipation and are rated for up to 1,500 cycles, ensuring high operational uptime during peak seasons.
