Subject: Drone for $400- ??



Dallas Center IA 515-720-2463
Just where do you get a Drone for $400-?

The info I have seen is more like $10,000- . I think a more for the rotary bladed ones, a bit less for the fixed wing ones.

At the only farm show looking I have done, I was told either $15,000- or $25,000-, can't remember which.
"But you are buying a lot of solfware" - To replace the airplane was a fraction of that.

AS to the cost of a autosteer system - I think about the lowest list price you will find is a electric motor deal, running off of a lower end display.
About $6000-

I doubt very much if the cost to put the hardware portion thru the factory is much more than 10% to 15% of that $6000-

But the cost of figuring out the solfware end, Company training, service and support. Also a margin of profit for both the company and the dealer.

I doubt if very much of that purchase price ends up in profits of Ag leader, Deere, Raven, Trimble, etc.

Again just where do you find a $400- Drone????
Brand name and a link to a website would be nice.
