Subject: Cost to own/operate and depreciate of drone per year? Low acerage



20 miles west of Indianapolis Indiana
Let’s say farmer owned drone. Say a $35,000 T60 or something appropriately sized to it in competitor.

Insurance for yourself, trailer setup and appropriate depreciation, depreciation on drone itself, fuel for generator. Repairs before it needs sold/traded off. All that good stuff.

Let’s say I’m running 1500 acres of corn 2X and 1000 acres of beans 1-2X. Might do some work for neighbor? Idk but that’s a different measurement.

So just 4-5000 acres let’s say. I know that’s not a lot but I’ve got some ideas and don’t own a SP sprayer.

What number should I expect it to cost me? Can someone give me their thoughts on this? Or is it just way too liberal of a figure to compute?
