Frequently Asked Questions by Saskatchewan Producers
Straightforward answers about agricultural drones, Transport Canada requirements, pesticide applications, batteries, field coverage, and repair support.
The DJI Agras T100 supports a 100 L spray tank and a 150 L spreading tank, with up to 100 kg operating payload depending on the application system.
The DJI D14000iE generator can recharge a compatible T100 DB2160 battery from 30% to 95% in approximately 8–9 minutes under DJI's specified conditions.
Get access to parts, technical assistance, training support, and field-equipment solutions for your agricultural drone operation.
Agricultural drones fly over the crop instead of driving through it, which can help reduce crop traffic during selected applications.
When mobile service is available, our technicians can help diagnose agricultural drone problems and handle eligible service work at your location.
Agricultural drone operations in Canada are subject to Transport Canada rules. The requirements depend on the aircraft, its weight, where you operate, and the type of operation. We can help you understand the training and regulatory steps that apply to your operation.
If your aircraft needs service during an important application period, ask about available backup or loaner support. Availability depends on the aircraft, repair requirements, and current fleet availability.
We supply genuine DJI Agriculture parts and accessories for supported equipment. Available stock and dispatch times depend on the specific part and current inventory.
Talk with our team about hands-on flight training, equipment setup, battery management, field operations, and the requirements that apply to your Saskatchewan operation.
Every Saskatchewan farm is different. Acreage, terrain, crop rotation, field conditions, and available equipment all affect how an agricultural drone can fit into an operation. True North Agricultural Technology can help you choose the aircraft, batteries, charging equipment, and field-support setup around your actual needs.
Heavy ground equipment can have difficulty operating in saturated soil, low-lying areas, sloughs, and other soft sections of a field.
An agricultural drone can fly over suitable wet or difficult areas without putting a heavy ground vehicle directly into the crop or soft soil.
Using a drone can provide another application option when field access is difficult. Actual pesticide timing, application rate, wind conditions, and permitted use must always follow the product label and applicable Saskatchewan and Canadian requirements.

The requirements depend on the aircraft's weight and the type of operation.
Transport Canada has different operating categories and certificate requirements based on the drone and how it is flown. Agricultural drone operators should confirm the requirements for their specific aircraft and operation before flying.
For larger aircraft such as the DJI Agras T100, the maximum takeoff weight can exceed 150 kg depending on configuration, so operators should not assume that the same rules apply as they would to a smaller agricultural drone.
Drone pesticide application must follow both federal pesticide requirements and Saskatchewan requirements.
Health Canada's rules depend on the product's registered label and whether aerial application is permitted. Saskatchewan also has provincial licensing requirements for commercial pesticide application.
Always check the current product label and applicable regulations before application.
DJI lists maximum wind resistance of less than 6 m/s for the T100 and Level 3 wind resistance, under 6 m/s, for the T25P.
That is an aircraft specification, not a blanket recommendation for pesticide spraying.
Actual application conditions must also meet the product label, drift-management requirements, and safe operating conditions.
A battery rotation system is normally used.
For the T100, the D14000iE generator can charge a compatible DB2160 battery from 30% to 95% in approximately 8–9 minutes under DJI's specified conditions. Operators can use multiple batteries and charging equipment to create a continuous workflow.
There is no single acreage number that applies to every Saskatchewan operation.
Daily coverage depends on application rate, field size and shape, refill distance, battery rotation, charging time, weather, terrain, tender setup, and travel between fields.
Manufacturer work-rate figures should be treated as operating references rather than a guaranteed daily acreage figure.
True North Agricultural Technology can provide parts and repair-support options for supported DJI equipment.
Depending on the aircraft, repair requirements, location, and availability, support may include parts assistance, technical troubleshooting, mobile service, or available backup equipment.
