The DJI Agras T100 is the biggest spray drone DJI makes. It carries 100 kg in a 100 L tank, converts to a 150 L spreader, and recharges its battery in 8 to 9 minutes, which is what keeps one aircraft working through a full day.
This guide covers when that capacity pays off, what each kit includes, the licensing you need before the first flight and the FCC question every US buyer asks. Specs are checked against DJI's published Agras T100 specifications.
Quick Answer
- New to the T100: the Ready-to-Fly Kit, $39,999. Everything needed to start spraying.
- Adding a second aircraft: the Airframe & Spraying Kit, $21,818, if you already run T100 batteries and charging.
- Spare battery: the DB2160, $4,088. Most crews run a three-battery rotation.
- Realistic output: 30 to 45 acres per hour at typical application rates. Dealers quote up to 70 at low rates on open row crops.

Four Questions That Decide It
How many acres a season?
The T100 earns its price on large row-crop, custom application and forestry programs. Small farms rarely keep a 100 L tank busy.
Spray, spread or both?
One airframe handles both with a 100 kg rating either way, so a single aircraft covers the season.
Do you already own T100 batteries?
If so, the $21,818 Airframe Kit adds an aircraft without paying for batteries and charging twice.
Is your licensing ready?
Part 137, a Section 44807 exemption and a state applicator license all take time. Start before the drone ships.
Why the 100 L Tank Matters
More tank means fewer refill stops, and refill stops are where a spray day goes. Each landing costs a battery swap, a tank fill and a takeoff, so doubling the load per flight cuts the share of the day spent on the ground. The payload sits in an onboard tank, not on a hook, so the full 100 kg is product on the field.
The 70 acres per hour figure you will see quoted is a dealer number at very low application rates on open row crops. DJI publishes no official acres-per-hour rating. At typical rates operators report 30 to 45 acres per hour, and canopy spraying runs lower because the tank empties faster. Plan from your own rate, not the headline.

Batteries and the Recharge Rotation
The DB2160 recharges from 30% to 95% in 8 to 9 minutes on DJI's C12000 smart charger or D14000iE generator. That is the reason a short flight time does not limit the day. Crews run three batteries: one flying, two charging, and a fresh pack always ready when the aircraft lands.

Spray, Spread and Lift
Manufacturer footage: DJI.
The T100 ships as a sprayer and converts to DJI's Spreading System 4.0 for seed, granular fertilizer and bait: a 150 L tank, a 100 kg load and up to 400 kg/min of discharge across a 3 to 10 m swath. A separate lifting system carries up to 100 kg, including the rope and hooks, on a 10 m cable for moving supplies across ground a truck cannot reach.

Forestry and Orchards
Forestry is where a drone replaces a crew on foot or a helicopter. Plantations on hills and uneven ground are slow to treat from the ground, and the T100's terrain-following radar holds height over the canopy on slopes. The optional 4-nozzle setup raises flow to 40 L/min for heavier canopy work.

Safety System 3.0
Spraying low around poles, trees and wires is where ag drones get damaged. The T100 combines LiDAR, front, rear and downward millimeter-wave radar and a quad vision system covering 360° horizontally. DJI rates obstacle avoidance as effective up to 13.8 m/s and the sensing range out to 60 m. DJI also notes that guy wires and power lines should be marked as obstacles in the mission plan, because thin wires are the hardest thing for any sensor to see.

Licensing and FCC Status
FAA and state licensing. Dispensing agricultural products from any aircraft requires an FAA Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certificate. Because the T100 weighs far more than 55 lb, it falls outside standard Part 107 and needs a Section 44807 exemption and FAA registration with an N-number. Your state will also require a pesticide applicator license. Exemption petitions take months, so file before you need the aircraft, and confirm current rules with the FAA and your state agriculture department.
FCC Covered List. The FCC added DJI to its Covered List in December 2025, which blocks new equipment authorizations but does not revoke ones already granted. The T100 holds FCC ID SS3-T100A2411, granted May 9, 2025, so it remains legal to sell, buy and fly in the US. Check the grant date on any DJI product announced since.
Dual-battery versions. DJI's spec sheet now lists a dual-battery spraying system (100 L tank, 90 kg operating payload) and a dual-battery lifting system (80 kg). DJI has not announced US pricing or availability for the dual-battery T100 as of this update. The single-battery T100 in this guide is the one you can buy today.
