How many acres have you sprayed per drone?
Do you think the drones will last several years if not crashed?
Have you ran them enough to see a decrease in battery performance?
The up front cost isn't to bad just for the drone, wondering how long a drone can last.
If memory is correct highest acres on a drone is 7500- 8000 acre area... Out of 6 drones one has not crashed. Had six drones to try and keep 4 flying last year. Some have crashed more than once. No big deal, you just buy parts, fix them and go back to flying.. Worst crash damage on a drone, was one where it quit flying for some reason 400 ft out in the field after it had been filled. Looked like a pancake when it got drug out of the field. New frame and some other parts, it was operational again.. Haven't had one yet , son couldn't fix and get it flyable. He has got pretty good @ fixing them.
Went to five batteries per drone to not run out of batteries when running hard in hot weather. Have a total of 20 batteries , one of the batteries bit the dust. Batteries have a one hear warranty on them, so this battery was covered. |
