FAQs

Utilising drones for spraying provides a number of benefits. These include: • Safety- operators are far from the machine while it is spraying, dramatically reducing the risk of chemical exposure, along with much reduced drift compared to other application methods • For greenhouse operations, there is no longer the risk of injury from falling from heights • No compaction, no running over harvestable ground or crops • No chance of spreading disease from field to field (never touches the ground) • Better saturation rates resulting in increased efficiency Precise application usingGPS and RTK, • Greatly reduced input costs, up to 40% less chemical used • No Diesel costs • Time- Drones are very efficient, imagine what you could be doing while we are spraying or spreading for you • What's more, drones can access farms after heavy rain, allowing chemicals to be applied at any time. • Have we talked about how drones love operating on and thrive on hills! • Reduced environmental impact and of course, all this adds up to significant cost savings.

Farmers and growers want their equipment to be flexible, just like their tractor. The bigXAG P100 Pro, is exactly that, an aerial tractor. The airframe, the bit that does the flying is completely separate from the application platform. This makes is super flexible.

It depends! With lower dosage rates of around 30L per hectare, a nice open field that lets us spray at 50km/hr, and a spray width of 9 metres, real world testing has shown up to 19hectares per hour. If we are required to apply much higher dosage rates of several hundred litres per hectare and/or the terrain becomes hilly, we would have to decrease the flight speed and spray width, significantly lowering the amount of hectares sprayed per hour

When spraying the P100 Pro has a lift capacity of an impressive 50kg. In spreading mode with the RevoCast payload system, a hopper granular capacity of 70 litres and spread rate of 150kg/min is capable of spreading a bag of fertiliser in just 20 seconds

An impressive 13.8 metres per second (50 km/hr!)
