DJI Agras T50 vs T70P vs T100: Which Agricultural Drone Fits Your Farm?
T50 is the balanced current platform. T70P is the high-capacity medium-drone upgrade. T100 is the maximum-output machine, but its published takeoff weight crosses Canada's 150 kg large-drone threshold. This guide compares performance, logistics, regulation, pricing and farm fit before you choose.
Choose the smallest platform that solves the recurring problem.
A larger tank is useful only when the crew, refill point, battery workflow, transport, licensing and demand can support it. For many Canadian farms, T50 remains the most practical ownership decision. T70P is the strongest scale-up before the large-drone regulatory step. T100 is for operators who can justify a full special-operation program.
Best-balanced current Canada platform.
- 40 L spraying tank and 50 kg spreading payload.
- 16 L/min standard spray flow; 24 L/min with four sprinklers.
- Current local product, package and battery listings.
- Lower capital and transport burden than T70P or T100.
- No lifting system.
Best high-capacity medium-drone option.
- 70 L spraying tank and 70 kg spreading load.
- 30 L/min standard flow; 40 L/min with four nozzles.
- 65 kg lifting capacity and 20 m/s maximum operation speed.
- Safety System 3.0 and new-generation power system.
- Published MTOW stays at or below 130 kg.
Maximum output, maximum deployment burden.
- 100 L spraying payload and 100 kg spreading load.
- 150 L spreading tank and 100 kg lifting capacity.
- 40 L/min optional spray flow and 20 m/s operation speed.
- LiDAR, penta-vision and millimetre-wave radar.
- Published MTOW above 150 kg requires an SFOC in Canada.
The jump is bigger than the model number suggests.
T70P nearly doubles T50's liquid capacity and adds lifting. T100 then increases the liquid payload to 100 L and crosses into a different Canadian aviation category.
Balanced payload, established ecosystem and lower deployment burden.
Higher throughput with the option to use DB1580 or DB2160 batteries.
Maximum capacity, 13 m spray-width ceiling and a large-drone SFOC requirement.
Payload, flow, safety, transport and Canada category.
Maximum figures depend on battery, nozzles, altitude, material, app-recommended loading, environment and task. The exact configuration matters as much as the model name.

Bigger tanks reduce refills but increase everything around them.
A higher-capacity aircraft needs more water or product at the staging area, larger mixing and transfer capability, heavier batteries, stronger transport, more charging power and more disciplined crew separation.
Capacity pays only when the aircraft stays busy.
T70P and T100 are strongest where high daily acreage, heavy spreading or commercial service demand can absorb their higher system cost.
Flow rate is not the same as canopy coverage.
Test droplet size, water volume, swath, speed, height, row geometry, terrain, drift and label directions on the actual crop.
Newer sensing does not remove crew responsibility.
Wires, dead branches, fine objects, poor light, rain, fog, speed and obstacle material can reduce sensing performance.
Charge time is only one part of turnaround.
Design the generator, charger, cooling, battery rotation, fuel, cable routing, fire separation and staging workflow together.
T100 is not simply a larger T70P.
Transport Canada classifies drones over 25 kg and up to 150 kg as medium. Drones over 150 kg are large and require permission as special operations. That creates a material difference in deployment time, documentation and operating approval.
Advanced operation or higher.
Medium-drone VLOS operations may be conducted under Advanced rules when the pilot, registration, operating distance and exact RPAS Safety Assurance declarations align.
- Advanced Pilot Certificate.
- Aircraft registration and marking.
- Exact model and operation in the current Safety Assurance list.
- VLOS and applicable distance from uninvolved people.
- Controlled-airspace authorization where required.
Special Flight Operations Certificate.
T100's published spraying and spreading takeoff weights exceed 150 kg. Flying a large drone is a medium-complexity special operation in Canada.
- SFOC-RPAS application and approval.
- Operation-specific documentation and conditions.
- Longer planning lead time and additional fees.
- Large-drone operating, transport and emergency procedures.
- All pesticide and provincial requirements still apply separately.
The best model depends on the bottleneck.
Start with the job that repeatedly loses time or money. Then choose the smallest platform that removes that bottleneck without creating a larger regulatory or logistics problem.
Build the process before maximizing capacity.
T50 provides current Canadian packages, established parts and a lower barrier to crew training and transport.
Pick: T50More liquid without crossing 150 kg.
T70P increases spray capacity to 70 L and supports 40 L/min with four nozzles.
Pick: T70PMaximum capacity can justify special operations.
T100 becomes relevant when 100 L spray, 100 kg spread and 100 kg lift generate enough commercial value to support an SFOC program.
Pick: T100Balanced capability usually wins.
T50 handles both core workflows without the cost, weight and staging requirements of the larger platforms.
Pick: T50The new spreader changes the calculation.
T70P reaches 400 kg/min and carries 70 kg, offering a major step above T50 without T100's large-drone category.
Pick: T70PMatch capacity to the real load.
T70P supports 65 kg lifting. T100 reaches 100 kg but brings the large-drone approval path.
Pick: Feasibility studyPortability may matter more than tank size.
T50 is often the stronger practical choice when the job is access, timing, edges or spot work rather than maximum acreage.
Pick: T50Demo coverage before choosing capacity.
Compare T50, T70P and T100 on actual canopy, rows, slopes, water volume and drift rather than tank size alone.
Pick: On-farm demoService-first may be the best model.
Use a demo or custom application service before committing to the aircraft, power, truck, licensing and support system.
Pick: Service firstCompare complete systems, not unmatched headline prices.
The public T50 aircraft-only price cannot be compared directly with a T100 package that includes batteries and a charger. Build an apples-to-apples quote with aircraft, spray and spread systems, batteries, charging, generator, transport, training, licensing, insurance and seasonal support.

Seven questions before choosing the model.
Tank size is question five, not question one. Start with demand, law, crew and staging before comparing payload.
The questions that decide the purchase.
Which is better: DJI Agras T50, T70P or T100?
T50 is the most balanced current platform for many Canadian farms. T70P is the stronger choice when a 70 L tank, 400 kg/min spreading, lifting and higher throughput are needed without crossing 150 kg. T100 is the maximum-capacity option, but its large-drone category requires a Special Flight Operations Certificate in Canada.
Is T70P a direct replacement for T50?
T70P is a new-generation scale-up, not a drop-in replacement. Its spraying system is not compatible with T50's, and the larger aircraft uses a new power, remote-controller, safety, spreading and lifting ecosystem.
Is DJI Agras T100 legal to fly in Canada?
T100 can potentially operate in Canada, but its published maximum takeoff weights are above 150 kg. That makes it a large drone and requires an SFOC-RPAS for the planned special operation, plus every other applicable aviation, pesticide, provincial, insurance and site requirement.
Why is T70P important for Canadian operators?
T70P provides a substantial jump to 70 L spraying, 70 kg spreading, 65 kg lifting, 40 L/min optional flow and 20 m/s operation speed, while DJI's published MTOW remains at or below 130 kg. That keeps it within the medium-drone category rather than the large category.
How much can each model spread?
T50 carries 50 kg in a 75 L spreading tank and reaches up to 108 kg/min. T70P carries 70 kg in a 100 L tank and reaches up to 400 kg/min. T100 carries 100 kg in a 150 L tank and also reaches up to 400 kg/min under DJI's material-specific test conditions.
Which model is best for orchard spraying?
Do not choose only by tank size. T50 may be easier to stage and transport. T70P and T100 provide more flow and newer safety systems. The correct answer requires a demo using the actual canopy, row width, slope, spray volume, droplet size, weather and label directions.
Which model is best for custom applicators?
T50 is the lower-risk entry platform. T70P is compelling for higher daily utilization while remaining medium class. T100 may suit high-volume commercial operators that can support an SFOC, heavier transport, larger refill systems, stronger power and higher capital exposure.
Do T50 and T70P need an SFOC?
Not automatically for every VLOS operation under the current Canadian rules. Both are medium drones under their published maximum takeoff weights. The pilot, aircraft declaration, operating distance, airspace and intended operation must fit Advanced or another permitted category. Operations outside those permissions still require an SFOC.
Can all three models spray pesticides in Ontario?
Potentially, but the pesticide must permit aerial application under Health Canada's current policy and label. Ontario Aerial-class licensing, Transport Canada rules, PPE, crew roles, insurance, records and all product directions still apply.
Which model has the fastest charging workflow?
T70P with the lighter DB1580 has the shortest published reference at 7-8 minutes from 30 to 95 percent under qualifying conditions. T70P with DB2160 and T100 are listed at 8-9 minutes. T50 is commonly referenced at about 9 minutes under its qualifying fast-charge workflow.
How much do the three drones cost in Canada?
SpeedyDrone publicly listed T50 aircraft-only at CA$17,999, a three-battery T50 Pro Package at CA$29,999, and a T100 package at CA$48,505 when reviewed July 20, 2026. T70P requires a current quote and availability check. These are not identical package configurations.
Can SpeedyDrone help choose the correct platform?
Yes. SpeedyDrone can review crop, acres, application rate, spreading material, lifting needs, current equipment, licensing, crew, transport, power, budget and expected utilization. The team can then quote equipment, training, demo, financing or lease review, deployment SOPs and seasonal support subject to availability and approval.
