So glad I chose to run the T40 on my farm. The price difference alone is enough reason for me to go AGRAS. I love mine so far.

[Astronetics]

I don't even know what a farm looks like in real life yet I'm binge-watching these drone videos. I can't be the only one....

[RenaissanceThinking]

Been waiting for this comparison since I started looking at buy drone a drone for an application business.

[allanhartle]

Florda citrus, have you done anything as of yet? Have been watching and see many areas were the drone will work, also what about a electro charge partice for drift conrol.

[christopherwharton]

Great job. This video was very informative. Thank you for the information.

I would really love to know the swatch width from the Helio and the max application speed

[neilflanagan]

Nothing mentioned about what tips were used and swath width. Did Hylio have any representation? Seems to be a slanted comparison.

That beautiful dji software. Looks good to

Well everyone, my Son received 2 Hylio AG 230 drones. It only took him two days to get ready to apply materials. Smooth as silk. We will stick with buy American

[loganl.andrew]

Wait time for a Hylio is almost a year long. You can get a T40 in days.

There is a lot he didn't mention with the Hylio, he stated there's no warning when the Hylio takes off, which isn't true. On the software you actually have to arm the drone first before takeoff. This is a safety feature the DJI doesn't have. Also running the Hylio we've been able to cover more acres per day with the smaller 130 then the DJI T40. Best case we've seen with the T40 is 23-25 acres and hour but with the Hylio 130, smaller drone, we've been able to reach 27-29 acres per hour, the 272 is even higher at closer to 50-55 acres per hour.

Also he didn't mention spray patterns, with the T40 you have 2 centrifugal nozzles that cause a whirl wind effect, which can create serious problems in somewhat windy conditions and cause erratic spray patterns. The Hylio has your regular T nozzle and the downforce from the blades keep the product going straight down.

The DJI we've had a lot of issues with pumps failing as well as engines failing, having parts overnighted to us at 500$ a pop isn't the right answer. Hylio has been much better on getting us parts when we need it as well as they have signed up a dealer close to us give us the attention we need.

Can we get a video showing more of your trailer setup used in this video ?

[kordramberg]

Alright I run ag 272s you forgot to talk about swarm vs none sworn mode. 5 guys no you need new test pilots lol You already have your nozzels laying between the drone landing points 1 person carries 2 batteries out sets them down puts nozzel in drone 20 gal minute pump turn on go swap 1 battery 20 seconds then the other click pump off walk back with both batteries start. 1 min 30 seconds to do with 1 guy however both platforms are way way to small. Both need massive improvements that will be coming. Just 1 field is 960 acres of crop.
You are working hard to do all this though. Need 50 to 60. Gallon tanks and none swap batteries with 10 to 15 min charge times. Good comparison for the most part. Well done.

If the bill to ban DJI drones in the US passes what happens to all that money invested in T40s?

[traviskelchen]

How long will the batteries last on the Hylio? Will they last for the whole tank?

[brasil.aircraft]

The only concern is about data privacy. DJI chineses know everything you do. I sell spray drones in Brazil. People start to consider about it. Even if dont have some functionallyties

[DavidBrenson]

I wonder what will happen to these guys if that DJI ban goes through. It really looks like it's going to. I don't know a whole lot about Hylio but are there even any other American brands aside from them? Might be the only choice here in a few months. Imagine spending 50k on a setup and having the govt ban it a month later

[neilflanagan]

I'd like to know more about DJI the company. Seems as a company they are blacklisted in United States.

[stevewilkins]

Not true. Hylio has low tank level sensors. My Son and I went to the factory in TX. The units are built complete in the US and employ a bunch of good people.

[jamesbondulich]

After watching the video, which was made and paid for by DJI Agras, it is obvious that the Hylio is better. When you add the massive price difference that the expensive DJI will set you back and the fact that Hylio is a US company, the choice is a no brainer..
