DJI T50 with cone mixing station - worth the 40% efficiency increase?

  • Members

Just spent the weekend researching the T50/cone mixing setup after seeing those University of Nebraska logistics studies showing 60% operational time goes to ground work. The numbers look compelling - 45-60% increase in daily coverage and eliminates dead zones where product settling occurs. But I'm wondering about real-world ROI on a 3,000-acre corn/soy operation.

Anyone running this combo? The 50L capacity per flight with 40% larger payload versus competitors sounds impressive, but that's a significant investment beyond the drone itself. Specifically interested in chemical consistency improvements and whether the digital measurement systems ensure accurate mixing within 0.5% tolerance actually delivers in field conditions.

We implemented T50/cone setup in 2024 on 3,500 acres. Previous coverage was 200 acres per day with conventional sprayer - now hitting 320+ acres daily. The consistency improvement is real - no more stratification issues we had with standard tank mixing. ROI hit break-even in 18 months versus projected 24.

That 0.5% tolerance claim seems aggressive. What's your experience with difficult formulations like EC+WP mixes? I'm seeing clumping issues with my current 300-gallon nurse tank setup, wondering if the continuous agitation system actually handles problematic tank mixes better.

The quick-fill technology achieving 20+ gallons per minute alone transformed our operation. Flight downtime dropped from 8-10 minutes to under 4 minutes per cycle. Chemical waste reduced by about 15% due to better mixing precision. Worth every penny for high-volume operations.
