Aircraft and application kit
The airframe, tank or hopper, pumps, atomizers or spreading hardware, radar and vision systems, controller, and route-planning software must be quoted as one compatible configuration.

DJI AGRAS T50
Large agricultural application system
The T50 is a dealer-supported spray and spread platform, not a large camera drone. Its published capacity only becomes useful when the operator can support the legal approvals, mixing and refill workflow, charging power, calibration, transport, maintenance, and seasonal service response around it.

Decision brief
Choose the T50 when a documented application program needs 40 kg spray or 50 kg spreading capacity and can support the heavier tender and approval stack. Do not buy it simply because its tank is larger.
Best fit: Established custom applicators, co-ops, growers, and dealer-supported programs with enough acreage and field logistics to keep a high-capacity aircraft productive.
Published configuration
Numbers with their conditions left attached.
These are manufacturer-published specifications, not independent field measurements. The context matters as much as the number.
- Spray payload
- 40 kg / 40 L
- Spread payload
- 50 kg / 75 L
- Published flow
- 16 L/min standard
- Charging cycle
- 9-12 min
- Spray width
- 4-11 m
- Takeoff weight
- 92 kg spray / 103 kg spread
DJI maximum at sea level. Payload is derated with altitude and operating conditions.
Published internal load and tank volume for compatible dry granules.
Two-sprinkler maximum. DJI lists up to 24 L/min with the optional four-sprinkler configuration.
Published full-charge time for the DB1560 battery under DJI test conditions and qualifying power infrastructure.
DJI test range at 3 m above crops. Coverage uniformity, material, droplet target, and conditions control the usable swath.
Published sea-level maximums. This places normal loaded operations outside Part 107's under-55 lb aircraft lane.
Operating system
The aircraft is one layer of the purchase.
Dealer or program purchase. Confirm the exact aircraft, spray or spread kit, battery count, charger or generator, controller, relay, training, warranty, parts, seasonal service, and approval support in the written quote.
Power and tender cycle
A 9-12 minute laboratory charging claim is not field throughput by itself. Generator output, fuel, battery temperature, cooling, refill time, water and material handling, transport, and crew rhythm determine the real cycle.
Dealer and maintenance response
Nozzles, pumps, hoses, seals, motors, batteries, calibration, firmware, and crash repair can stop an operation during a narrow crop window. Get service response and loaner expectations in writing.
Application evidence
The operation still needs the correct field, product, label, rate, buffer, weather, calibration, pilot, aircraft, and application record. The flight log is not the whole application record.
Operating fit
Match the configuration to the job.
Broadacre spraying
The capacity can reduce refill frequency where field geometry, legal authority, tender access, crop height, obstacles, and application parameters support a productive route.
Orchards and uneven terrain
Terrain follow, atomized application, and route planning can support complex crops, but wires, guy wires, vegetation, lighting, radar limits, and emergency landing space still need a field-specific plan.
Granular spreading
Spreading throughput depends on material diameter, density, moisture, hopper gate, spinner speed, target rate, and distribution verification. The 50 kg capacity is not a universal application rate.
United States
Capability does not create operating authority.
This is an educational overview. Confirm the current aircraft, operation, exemptions, certificates, state credentials, labels, airspace, and local conditions before operating.
Agricultural aircraft authority
Dispensing an economic poison or material for plant nourishment, soil treatment, propagation, pest control, agriculture, horticulture, or forest preservation can trigger Part 137.
Large UAS approval
A normally loaded T50 exceeds 55 lb. Large agricultural UAS commonly require an exemption path, N-number registration, Part 91 operating conditions, and the authority named in the operator's exemption and certificate.
State pesticide credentials
FAA approval does not replace state aerial applicator licensing, pesticide-category credentials, product-label compliance, records, drift requirements, insurance, or local restrictions.
Operation-specific limits
Airspace, visual line of sight, people, roads, crew roles, weather, material handling, and every exemption or certificate condition still govern the actual field operation.
Field cycle
Judge the complete job, not the flight.
Authorize
Confirm the operator certificate, aircraft authority, registrations, pilot and applicator credentials, state rules, product label, insurance, airspace, and landowner scope.
Plan and calibrate
Verify field boundaries, target rate, material, buffers, obstacles, route, droplet or granule settings, wind, temperature, tender location, emergency areas, and calibration evidence.
Run the tender loop
Separate chemical handling from aircraft handling, control refill and battery sequence, inspect application hardware, manage contaminated equipment, and stop when the approved envelope changes.
Close the record
Reconcile acreage, amount loaded and applied, weather, route deviations, operator, aircraft, product and label, calibration, incidents, maintenance findings, and required state records.
Before requesting a quote
Questions the specification sheet cannot answer.
- 01Which exact approvals and operating conditions does the dealer expect for this loaded configuration?
- 02What is included in the quote, and which spray, spread, charging, cooling, relay, RTK, and transport components are separate?
- 03How many batteries and what power source sustain the promised field cycle in local summer temperatures?
- 04Which parts are stocked locally, and what is the response target during the application season?
- 05Who trains the pilot and tender crew on calibration, cleaning, chemical exposure, emergency shutdown, and recordkeeping?
- 06How are prescription files, logs, updates, data retention, and offline operation handled?
