DJI Agras T100S vs DJI T50 Canada
Updated September 11, 2026.
The DJI Agras T50 is an established 40 L-class workhorse. The T100S is a new flagship-generation platform built for far more material throughput. For Canadian operators, the decision is not simply 40 L versus 85 L—it is also about Transport Canada weight class, regional support, cold-weather energy logistics and whether the farm has enough acreage to use the additional capacity.
T100S offers 85 L spraying, 40–50 L/min maximum flow, 90 kg spreading and 95 kg lifting. T50 uses a 40 L spray tank, 16 L/min standard / 24 L/min four-nozzle maximum flow and 50 kg spreading payload. T100S is the throughput winner. T50 remains easier to transport, has mature parts support and imposes a smaller field-logistics burden. In Canada, both are above 25 kg, but the exact aircraft declaration and operating category still need to be verified.
T100S vs T50 Specification Table
| Specification | T100S | T50 |
|---|---|---|
| Approx. aircraft weight | ~57 kg with battery in standard launch spray configuration | 52 kg with battery |
| Spray tank | 85 L | 40 L |
| Max spray flow | 40 L/min standard; 50 L/min optional | 16 L/min standard; 24 L/min four nozzles |
| Spread payload | 90 kg | 50 kg |
| Lift | 95 kg | No comparable integrated 95 kg system |
| Propeller class | 62-inch | 54-inch |
| Sensing | 256-line LiDAR + new radar/vision | Phased-array radar + binocular vision |
| Parts maturity | Newer ecosystem | Established |
Spraying: 85 L vs 40 L
The T100S carries more than twice the T50’s liquid. More importantly, its pump/nozzle system can move far more liquid per minute. That matters when a Canadian crop program requires a high L/ha rate and the T50 would otherwise need to slow down.
For lower-rate broadacre work, T50 can remain very productive. If fields are fragmented or refill points are close, the larger T100S payload can be underutilized.
Health Canada Pesticide Context
In 2026 Health Canada introduced a policy allowing RPAS application of pesticides already registered for conventional aerial application when the label does not prohibit RPAS use and all aerial directions are followed exactly. That applies regardless of whether the aircraft is a T50 or T100S. The larger drone does not expand the list of products legally available for RPAS application.

Spreading: 90 kg vs 50 kg
T100S carries up to 90 kg of compatible dry material versus T50 at 50 kg. On large fertilizer programs that can materially reduce reload cycles. But it also means the staging crew must move nearly twice as much material each cycle. Bulk loading, bag handling and safe ground logistics become more important.
Lifting: T100S Adds a Third Role
T100S can carry up to 95 kg as a suspended agricultural load. That creates possible transport work beyond spray/spread seasons. T50 is primarily an application platform and does not provide an equivalent native heavy-lift architecture.
Transport Canada Weight Considerations
Both aircraft are above 25 kg and therefore outside Canada’s small-drone class when operated at their agricultural weights. The T100S launch-market maximum of 149.9 kg remains within the medium-drone band of more than 25 kg through 150 kg. The exact T50 and T100S aircraft must still satisfy the safety-assurance requirements for the intended Advanced operation.
Do not buy on weight alone. Check the exact model’s declaration/PVD status and mission requirements with Transport Canada.
Transport and Canadian Farm Logistics
T50 is smaller and easier to stage. That matters for pickup/trailer space, one-person handling and moving between separated fields. T100S is a production machine whose full benefit appears when water, chemical, battery and material logistics have already been engineered around high daily throughput.
Cold-Weather and Charging Strategy
Canadian shoulder seasons can expose batteries to low temperatures. T50’s established battery/charger ecosystem has the advantage of field familiarity and parts experience. T100S adds newer thermal-management design, but any future Canadian package should be evaluated by its actual battery and charger specifications rather than launch-market assumptions.
Parts and Downtime
T50 has a strong current support advantage. Browse DJI T50 Parts and T50 Spraying Parts. A new T100S importer may face longer lead times for exact sensors, batteries or payload assemblies.
Which Is Better in Canada?
| Canadian operator | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Large custom applicator | T100S | Higher flow and fewer refill cycles. |
| Smaller/fragmented fields | T50 | Easier deployment and enough capacity for many jobs. |
| Dense orchard/high-volume program | T100S | 50 L/min optional flow and newer sensing. |
| Existing T50 fleet | T50 / gradual transition | Protects battery, charger and spare-parts investment. |
| Need heavy cargo lift | T100S | 95 kg integrated lifting system. |

FAQ
Should every Canadian T50 owner upgrade?
No. Upgrade when T50 flow, refill frequency, spread capacity or sensing is a measurable operational constraint.
Which sprays more per fill?
T100S: 85 L versus T50: 40 L.
Which has more mature parts support?
T50 currently has the advantage.
Is T100S officially launched in Canada?
Not in a Canada-specific launch Ares Acres can verify as of this update.
Comparison notice: T50 figures use established DJI specifications; T100S figures reflect launch-market information and may differ in a future Canadian model. Verify current Transport Canada and Health Canada requirements before operation.
