Most guys ordering ag drones get stuck between coverage and battery life, and what you’ve got with this one is a working compromise—the 40L tank and the 12 nozzles push a 12-meter swath through high-pressure fans, and dual pumps each running 8L/min mean you’re finishing rows before the battery gives out, though the full-load hover time is only 7 minutes or so for spraying.
Spreading is actually a separate setup with its own 50L box and the HM302 turntable, handling particles from half a millimeter up to 6mm and throwing them out to 7-9 meters wide at max turntable speed. We’ve seen operators push the 43kg load limit on the spreader without issues, but the hover time drops to 6 minutes under that max load, so it’s not like running side-by-side with a ground rig—keep your routes tight.
Charging comes from the JT40-specific charger, and they pair it with a generator rated at 8.5KW AC output (8KW continuous) and a 38L fuel tank, which basically keeps you going all day if you’re swapping batteries between runs. The base station with the IP67 waterpoof rating covers 3KM transmission range, and the remote has a 2 kilometer control distance with a 5.5-inch screen—pretty much standard for this class of gear.
For the base station itself—that’s the GNSS reference—it needs a clear sky view to lock high-precision corrections, and it’s not really suited for heavy tree canopy or urban edges where the signal bounces. Expect roughly 18 minutes no-load hover for the drone, which is enough to scout or adjust but you’re not hovering forever.
Lead times from China usually run 20-30 days, give or take, and we’ve had better luck buying a minimum of 10 units for consistent build qualiy—otherwise the MOQ can push your price up. The LLDPE tank handles chemcial exposure well; we’ve had minor cracking after two seasons of heavy ammonia-based fertilizers, but it’s held up better than the ABS tanks some guys spec for saving weight.
Packaing comes as a styrofoam-in-carton for the drone frame, with the spreader and spray booms in separate boxes, so you’ll need to assemble the main arms yourself and calibrate the nozzles before first run—ship weight is about 180kg for the full pallet, but the generator is usually its own freight line. Actually, one thing buyers don’t think to check is the charger firmware: newer JT40 chargers have a thermal cutoff that can slow charging at 35°C ambient, so time your work to morning or evening if you’re in a hot region.
We typically require an MOQ of 10 units for the JT40, but we can negotiate smaller trial orders if you're just starting out. Contact us for details.
Lead time is usually 30-45 days depending on your order size and current production schedule. We'll confirm the exact timeline once we have your order details.
Yes, we can provide CE and FCC certifications upon request. Just let us know which documents you need, and we'll include them with your shipment.
Sure, the 40L LLDPE medicine box and high-pressure fan nozzles work well with most liquid fertilizers. Just make sure the viscosity isn't too high to clog the 100-300μm atomized particles.
The JT40 is shipped in a reinforced cardboard box with foam padding for protection. Store it in a dry, cool place to avoid damage to the electronics and battery.
