When you compare the cost and maintenance involved with traditional agricultural machinery, agricultural drones offer exceptional value for money in comparison.

It is not possible to rent agricultural drones for short term rentals in rural areas unless you are fully licensed and trained on XAG drones.

QRS can arrange leasing via their broker for their XAG drones and robots. These agreements are typically for a primary period of 3 years.

Drone spraying is very effective and has been heavily used for over 15 years in Asia with great success.

The answer to this question depends on whether you include the capital outlay for the traditional machinery into the equation. If not then traditional tractor and boom sprayer is far cheaper per hectare currently when looking at broadacre spraying and using a 3rd party Ag contractor.

However, drones are sometimes the only means of applying liquid chemicals, fertilisers or seed when the terrain is to steep or too wet for example.

Simply ring QRS and talk with one of our sales team who will explain clearly the steps that could lead to you becoming an Ag Drone Operator within the XAG Network.

Drone spraying in the UK is from £14 per acre. This will increase if there are multiple small fields.

Simply email enquiries@quadrotor.co.uk and request a demonstration either at our Wirral HQ or at your own premises if preferred.

To choose the correct drones for your farm it is best to speak first with QRS and discuss your exact requirements and they will advise you of the right drone for your farm together with costs and training details.

Most Ag drones have similar battery capacity which equates to around 8-10 minutes flying time when fully operational with seeding or spraying. Tank sizes can vary between 10 litres to 70 litres.
