Best Agricultural Drones for Irish Farms 2026: The Current DJI Lineup Compared
Most “best agri-drone” guides you’ll find for Ireland compare models that are one or two generations old, written by people who’ve never lifted one out of a van. This one is different: we’re Ireland’s DJI agriculture dealer. Every drone below is a machine we sell, service, train on and fly. Here’s how the 2026 Agras lineup — T100, T70P, T50, T25 and T25P — actually stacks up for Irish farms.
One thing first: pesticide spraying by drone isn’t yet permitted in Ireland (the EU rules are changing — see our full legality guide). What these machines legally do in Ireland today is spreading seed, fertiliser and lime, plus mapping and survey. Judge them on that work now, with spraying capability as the upside when the rules open.
The lineup at a glance
| Agras T100 | Agras T70P | Agras T50 | Agras T25/T25P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spray tank | 100 L | 70 L | 40 L | 20–25 L |
| Spreading capacity | 150 L | 100 L | 50 kg | 25 kg |
| Spray width | up to ~12.8 m | 4–11 m | up to 11 m | up to 7 m |
| Best for | Contractors, public-sector fleets | Large tillage, big contractors | The all-round workhorse | Smaller farms, first drone |
| Portability | Trailer job | Trailer/van | Van | Fits in a jeep |

DJI Agras T100 — the flagship
The T100 is the biggest Agras yet: 100 L spray tank, 150 L spreading hopper, and a lifting capacity that opens up jobs beyond agriculture — fencing materials to hill ground, materials across bogs no machine can cross. For contractors planning serious spreading volume, or bodies managing large sites (think peatland rehabilitation or upland restoration), this is the machine that turns days of ground work into hours. It’s a two-person, trailer-based operation and it’s priced like the flagship it is — but per-hectare it’s the cheapest way to move material by air in Ireland. See the Agras T100 →
DJI Agras T70P — the big tillage machine
70 L spraying, 100 L spreading, up to 40 L/min flow with the four-sprinkler option. The T70P is the sweet spot for large tillage operations and contractors who found the T50 generation slightly small on big blocks but don’t need T100 bulk. Coverage rate on spreading work is the number that matters in an Irish weather window, and the T70P clears ground fast. See the Agras T70P →
DJI Agras T50 — the proven workhorse
The T50 is the machine we’d put in most contractors’ hands: 40 L spray tank, 50 kg spreading payload, up to 11 m swath, phased-array radar obstacle sensing that handles hedgerows, ESB lines and variable Irish terrain. There’s a reason it’s the volume seller worldwide — it’s big enough for real contract work and small enough to run from a van with one operator. Our ready-to-fly kit includes batteries, charging and training. See the Agras T50 →
DJI Agras T25 and T25P — the right first drone
For an average Irish holding — CSO puts it around 33 hectares — the T25 is honestly the smarter buy than anything above it. It fits in the back of a jeep, one person runs it, and it handles reseeding, over-sowing clover, fertiliser on wet corners and full survey work. The newer T25P adds refinements to the platform. Most farmers who ask us about the T50 leave with a T25 and never regret it. See the Agras T25 →
Don’t forget the mapping drone
Every serious operation should pair an Agras with a DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral — grass measurement, weed and disease mapping, and the prescription maps that make variable-rate spreading work. On dairy and beef farms the Mavic 3M alone often justifies itself before the Agras arrives.
What actually matters for Irish conditions
Weather. Agras drones carry IP-rated protection and handle wind that grounds hobby drones, but the real Irish advantage is different: they work when the ground doesn’t. A wet spring that locks tractors out of fields for weeks doesn’t stop a drone spreading from the headland.
Support. A drone earning money can’t wait three weeks for a part from Shenzhen. We hold T25 and T50 parts in Ireland and service what we sell — ask any owner what that’s worth mid-season.
Training and authorisation. Agras-class drones need an IAA Specific category operational authorisation. Budget time for it and do it properly — our training programme takes you from zero to authorised operator.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the best agricultural drone for a small Irish farm? The Agras T25. It’s one-person portable, handles reseeding, spreading and survey on a typical Irish holding, and costs a fraction of the bigger machines. Pair it with a Mavic 3 Multispectral if grass measurement matters to you.
Can these drones legally work in Ireland today? Yes — for spreading seed, fertiliser and lime, and for mapping and survey, with an IAA Specific category authorisation. Pesticide spraying isn’t yet permitted; EU rules enabling it are in their final negotiation phase in 2026.
Agras T50 or T70P for a contractor? Volume decides it. Under roughly 1,000 spread-hectares a year, the T50’s lower cost and one-man portability win. Above that, the T70P’s tank and flow rate pay for the difference in saved refill cycles.
Do you deliver and set up? We’re based in Ireland and support what we sell — delivery, setup, training and servicing. Talk to us before you buy anything from a grey importer with no Irish parts backup.
The bottom line
Buy the machine for the work that’s legal and profitable today — spreading, seeding, survey — sized to your ground, and you’ll also be holding a spraying-capable platform the day Ireland opens that door. If you’re not sure which one that is, that’s exactly what a call with us is for.

Note: As of July 2026, aerial application of plant protection products by drone is not permitted in Ireland. Precision Drone Spray provides drone sales, training, mapping and non-PPP application services (seeding and spreading) in full compliance with IAA and DAFM rules.
