How long. How much saved. How soon it pays back.

Three sliders. Your real operation, our real numbers — coverage rates from the AUAVGC mission planner, cost-per-acre baselines from MU Extension and Canadian custom-rate surveys. Payback nets the RDAR reimbursement.

§ 01 · Where it earns its keep

Built for the crops we actually grow up here.

The A70 was designed against the realities of Western Canadian acreage — long passes, narrow windows, and weather that doesn't wait. Coverage rates below are sustained, real-world numbers from AUAVGC mission logs.

Canola · Wheat · Cereals
May – Aug
Coverage82 ac/h
Swath14 m
Spray rate10 L/ac
Cadence2 – 4 passes / season

Fungicide on flag-leaf timing, desiccation at swath, late-season aphid & cutworm pressure.

Pulses · Lentils · Peas
Jun – Sep
Coverage76 ac/h
Swath14 m
Spray rate10 L/ac
Cadence3 – 5 passes / season

Desiccation before harvest avoids the wheel-track penalty — ground rigs lose 2–3% to compaction in heavy pulses.

Forage · Hay · Pasture
Apr – Sep
Coverage84 ac/h
Swath14 m
Spray rate8 L/ac
Cadence1 – 2 passes / season

Spot weed control without tearing up regrowth, fertilizer top-up on alfalfa stands too wet to drive.

Specialty · Orchard · Vineyard
Mar – Oct
Coverage48 ac/h
Swath10 m
Spray rate12 L/ac
Cadence5 – 8 passes / season

Tight-spaced row crops, thermal-aware spraying, work the early morning window airblast can't.

§ 02 · Anatomy

Eight subsystems. One workhorse.

Engineered around the spray boom first, with everything else built to serve it. Every part designed to be field-serviceable by an operator with a toolkit, not a clean-room.

List $48,000CAD $18,000net of RDAR

The big-tank, big-swath spraying drone designed against Western Canadian acreage — faster passes, fewer refills, and a service shop on your timezone.

Best when…
You cover 400+ acres a season and refill cycles cost real time.
Cereals, pulses, or large forage stands where a 14 m swath pays back every pass.
You want a technician local to you, not an offshore support queue.

Agras T50

List $35,000CAD $5,000net of RDAR

DJI's dual-purpose flagship — spraying and spreading. Smaller tank, smaller cheque, deep global parts ecosystem and a granular-spreader the A70 doesn't replace.

Best when…
You cover under 400 acres a season and want the lowest-friction entry into ag drones.
You need to spread granules — fertilizer, seed, cover-crop — as much as you spray.
You're price-sensitive and the cheque size matters more than per-pass time.

§ 05 · Try before you buy

Lease an A70 for a season. Decide in October.

Not sure if the A70 fits your operation? Rent one for the season. Spray, learn, decide. If you buy in October, every dollar of lease and deposit goes straight to the purchase — none of it is wasted.

Renting equipment for a season — with the option to own it.

The Seasonal Lease + Usage-Based Pricing + Optional Buyout program is built for operators who want a full-size spray drone for one season with low upfront risk. Three thousand acres included. Lease fee and deposit roll straight into the purchase if you buy.

  • Low upfront investment — start spraying with a fraction of the buy price.
  • Full-season real-world use — try it on your crops, your terrain, your weather.
  • Pay more only if you spray more — usage-based, not flat.
  • No wasted money if you buy — lease + deposit fully credited to the purchase.
  • Ideal for growers and operators scaling up drone services.

§ 07 · Built · supported · serviced

The team that built it is the team that picks up the phone.

The A70 is engineered, assembled, and supported from Calgary. No offshore support queue, no shipping a $48k drone to Shenzhen for a $200 part. Talk to a Canadian technician — usually the one who tightened the bolts in the first place.

"AUAV had a fix on my drone in two days."

Whichever way you measure it — parts in stock, technicians local, shop floor a one-hour drive from your section line — the support story is the same. Six service locations across Western Canada. A field-call program for the days when towing the drone in costs you more than the spray itself.
