🔧 Component Overview

The DJI Agras T50 OEM Spreading System Reduction Gearbox, DJI material number BC.AG.SS000716, is the geared drive that converts the spreader motor’s high-speed output into the higher-torque, lower-speed rotation the spreading disc and metering auger actually need to move granular product. When the T50 is set up to spread rather than spray, this gearbox is the mechanical heart of the system.

Granular spreading is a torque-hungry job — dry product loads the disc and auger far harder than liquid loads a pump — and the reduction gearbox is what lets a compact motor deliver that torque without stalling. It is also, being the highest-load moving assembly in the spreading kit, the part that wears.

Separate the gearbox from the motor before you order either one. With the hopper empty and the aircraft powered down, turn the drive slowly by hand and feel what comes back. A repeating catch that arrives at the same point once per output revolution is a damaged tooth. A continuous gritty rumble that never lets up is a bearing or contaminated grease. Then turn the motor on its own with the coupling parted: if it spins clean, the fault is downstream in the gearbox.

Measure backlash instead of guessing at it. Hold the input or the motor coupling still, then rock the spreading disc back and forth by hand and watch how far it travels before the gear train picks up. Every reduction drive has some lash when new, so what matters is how much this one has compared with a second aircraft, a spare unit, or your own note from when it was fresh. Free movement you can hear as an audible clack is worn mesh, not normal slack.

Check the output shaft for play separately from backlash, because they point at different parts. Grip the disc at its rim and try to lift it, then try to rock it side to side without turning it. Movement in and out or a wobble that you can feel at the rim means the output bearing has gone, and it will take the gear mesh with it because the teeth are no longer meeting square. Backlash with no shaft play is a tooth problem; shaft play with tight lash is a bearing problem.

Prove that a weak spread is a torque problem and not a metering problem, because the two get blamed on each other constantly. Run the spreader unloaded and confirm the disc holds a steady speed. Then run it with a loaded hopper. A disc that holds speed empty and sags the moment product arrives is a drivetrain that has lost torque. A disc that holds speed in both cases while the rate is wrong is telling you the fault is in the gate, the auger, or the rate setting.

Heat and grease are the two quiet indicators worth reading before a failure. After a short run, feel the gearbox case carefully with the back of a hand: a unit running noticeably hotter than it used to, or hotter than a known-good aircraft doing the same job, is turning torque into friction somewhere inside. Then wipe the case and the seal area clean. Grease weeping at the shaft seal or the joint line, especially grease with a metallic sheen in it, is internal wear you can see from outside.

⚙️ Functional Purpose

The gearbox multiplies motor torque and reduces speed through its gear train so the spreading disc turns product out in an even, controlled pattern and the auger meters reliably under load. When the gearset wears, the symptom is rarely a clean stop — it is noise, play, inconsistent disc speed under load, and a spread pattern that loses its evenness.

Empty and clean the hopper completely before anything comes apart. Dry granular product is heavy, it pours the instant a path opens, and it goes straight into open couplings and mounting faces where it behaves like grinding compound. Remove the hopper if the design allows, rinse and dry it, take the batteries out, and confirm the aircraft is fully powered down so nothing can command the spreader motor while your hands are on the disc.

Support the rotating assembly before you undo the last fastener. The disc, the coupling, and anything the gearbox carries can drop as soon as the mounting releases, and an output shaft that takes a fall on its end is a shaft that will run out afterward. Photograph the mounting before you disturb it and record any washer, spacer, or shim stack exactly as it sat, because that stack is what sets the height relationship between the gearbox and what it drives.

If a coupling or spline is stuck, do not pry against the hopper shell, the disc vanes, or the motor housing to free it. Those are the parts you cannot easily replace, and the leverage goes straight into the bearings you are trying to save. Work the joint squarely, use the puller points if the assembly has them, and be patient with penetrant and time. Hammering a coupling on or off is how a good replacement gearbox gets a damaged bearing before it has spread an acre.

Treat the mating face as the critical surface. Wipe it clean of granular dust, dried product, and old sealant residue, and check it is flat and undamaged before the new gearbox goes near it. A single grain of fertilizer trapped under a mounting flange tips the gearbox by a small angle, and that angle becomes a permanent bending load in the output shaft the moment you tighten the fasteners. Cap or tape any opening you are leaving exposed while you work.

Commission it in stages rather than loading a hopper and hoping. With everything fastened, turn the drive by hand first: it should be exactly as free as it was before the last fastener went in, and if it stiffened, something is misaligned and the fasteners come back off. Then run it unloaded and listen. Then run a light load over a catch tray or a clean tarp and compare how far product throws to each side before you commit to a field pass.

⚠️ Common Replacement Indicators

• Grinding, whining, or knocking from the spreading drive
• Play or backlash felt at the disc that was not there when new
• Disc speed that sags or surges under a loaded hopper
• Uneven or narrowed spread pattern with no metering fault
• Metal debris or grease loss around the gearbox
• Spreader that stalls or trips under normal granular load

Confirm before you order: this gearbox is DJI part BC.AG.SS000716, listed for the DJI Agras T50 spreading system. Match the material number to your parts diagram before ordering, and inspect the spreader motor and disc coupling at the same time — a gearbox that has been run with play often takes its neighbors with it.

Why it fails: granular spreading combines high torque, abrasive dust, and duty cycling. Over time gear teeth and bearings wear, lubrication degrades, and abrasive intrusion accelerates both. Spreading duty is simply harder on a drivetrain than spraying duty.

Post-install checklist: mount the gearbox squarely, couple it to the motor and disc without preload or misalignment, confirm free rotation by hand, then spin it up unloaded to check for noise and runout before loading the hopper and verifying the spread pattern on a test pass.

Match the noise to the part rather than treating all noise as one symptom. A whine that rises and falls with disc speed is gear mesh, and it usually means the tooth surfaces have worn out of their original profile. A knock or click that comes around once per output revolution, at any speed, is one damaged tooth or a chipped edge. A rumble that stays roughly the same character regardless of speed, and that you can feel through the frame, is a bearing.

A spread pattern that has gone lopsided or narrowed with no change to the rate setting usually means the disc is not turning at the speed the system thinks it is, or is not turning true. Worn mesh lets the disc lose speed under load, and a bent or bearing-worn output shaft lets the disc wobble as it throws. Both change where product lands. Check disc speed under load and check the shaft for runout before you start chasing the metering side of the system.

Streaks or banding in the field, where coverage alternates heavy and light along the flight line, points at a disc speed that is surging rather than holding. Inside a worn gearbox that comes from lash: the train unloads and reloads as product arrives in pulses, and the disc speed follows. This is one of the few faults that shows in the crop before it shows on the bench, so treat a new banding pattern as a reason to inspect the drive.

Spreader motor current or temperature creeping up on a job you have flown many times before is drag, and drag in this position is usually the gearbox. Worn bearings, degraded lubricant, and abrasive contamination all raise the torque the motor must supply just to turn the drive, before any product is moved. The motor will cover for the gearbox for a while, running hotter to do it, which is why this one tends to arrive as an overheat or a trip rather than as a noise.

Grease found on the underside of the aircraft, on the disc, or streaked around the shaft is a seal that has failed, and it is a two-part problem. The gearbox is losing the lubricant it needs, and at the same moment the failed seal is letting abrasive granular dust into the gear train. Once dust is inside, wear accelerates sharply and the internal damage is done long before the noise gets loud enough to notice from the operator position.

📐 Specifications

DJI Material Number: BC.AG.SS000716

Part: Spreading System Reduction Gearbox

Fits: DJI Agras T50 spreading system (supplier-listed fitment)

Quantity: 1 gearbox assembly

Condition: Brand new

Gear Ratio, Output Speed, and Torque Rating: Not published in this listing. Do not attempt to infer the ratio by counting revolutions on a worn unit and do not assume it matches a gearbox from another spreading kit. If you need the figure for a system calculation, get it from DJI service documentation for the T50 spreading system rather than from a measurement taken on a drive that may already have lash in it.

Lubricant Type and Service Fill: Not published, and this assembly is supplied as a sealed unit. Do not open the case to inspect or repack it in the field. Gear lubricant is selected for the tooth loading, the speed, and the seal material, and a general purpose grease can be both too thick to reach the mesh and chemically wrong for the seals it will sit against for the rest of the season.

Mounting Fastener Torque and Hardware: Not published here. Use the DJI service figure for the spreading system mounting hardware and a calibrated wrench, and tighten in a staged crossing pattern so the housing pulls down flat rather than hinging on one corner. Uneven clamp across a gearbox flange puts a permanent bending load into the output shaft, which is exactly the load its bearings are least able to carry.

🧰 Fitment Verification Before You Order

This listing is DJI material number BC.AG.SS000716. That number, not the description, is what makes a part match. Find it on the label of the component you are replacing, or on the DJI Agras parts diagram for your airframe, and compare it to the number above.

Revision suffixes are still the same part. DJI labels sometimes carry a trailing revision such as .01, .02, or .F. Those denote a production revision, not a different component. Match the base number and disregard the suffix.

Visually similar is not the same. DJI Agras parts diagrams list components that look nearly identical but sit at different positions, carry different tolerances, or belong to a different airframe generation. Ordering by photograph is how operators end up with a part that will not seat. Order by number.

Verified fitment for this listing: DJI Agras T50. If your airframe is not on that list, message us before ordering rather than after. We would rather answer a question than process a return, and so would you.

Not sure? Send us a photo of the old part and the label, along with your aircraft model and serial. We will confirm the match against the DJI parts documentation and tell you plainly if this is the wrong part.

🛠️ Installation & Handling Notes

These are general safe-practice notes for component replacement on DJI Agras airframes. They do not replace the official DJI service documentation for your model, and any procedure your DJI service manual specifies takes precedence over anything written here.

Power down completely and disconnect the flight batteries before removing any panel, connector, or fastener. Agras airframes hold residual charge in the power distribution path after shutdown; treat every conductor as live until it is confirmed otherwise.

Photograph the assembly before you disturb it. Cable routing, connector orientation, and fastener lengths on Agras airframes are not interchangeable, and the Spreading System Reduction Gearbox is easier to fit correctly when you can see how the original sat.

Torque to DJI specification. Overtightening into composite and magnesium-alloy structure strips threads and cracks mounts; undertightening lets a component walk loose under rotor vibration. Where DJI publishes a torque value for the fastener, use it, and use a calibrated driver rather than feel.

Check the mating surfaces and seals while you are in there. A component is only as good as what it seats against. Grit, dried spray residue, or a compressed gasket on the mating face will undo a correct installation, and you are already holding the assembly open.

Test before you spray. Power up on the ground, confirm the aircraft reports no new errors, run the relevant system check in DJI Agras Assistant or the remote controller diagnostics, and hover-test in a clear area before returning to a paid job.

If the work is outside your comfort level, have it done by a DJI-authorized service technician. The part cost is small next to the airframe.

🚜 Necessary For

• Restoring spreader drive after gear wear or noise
• Curing disc-speed sag or stalling under a loaded hopper
• Correcting an uneven spread pattern traced to the drivetrain
• Rebuilding the spreading system for seasonal changeover

This is the gearbox, not the spreader motor. They mount together, they are often quoted together, and on a parts diagram they can look like one assembly. The simple test is electrical: the motor has leads and a connector, and the gearbox has none. If the part you removed had a cable coming out of it, you are looking at the motor. If it is purely mechanical with an input and an output, this is the part you want.

It is also not the metering or auger drive assembly. On a spreading system the auger that meters product out of the hopper and the disc that throws it are two different jobs, and a fault in one gets blamed on the other constantly. Metering faults change how much product leaves the hopper. Gearbox faults change how the disc turns. Work out which of those two your symptom actually describes before ordering, because they are not interchangeable parts.

Spreading gearboxes from different Agras generations and different spreader kits look broadly similar and are not the same component. Housing shape, mounting pattern, shaft interface, and ratio can all differ between kits that are photographed from the same angle. The DJI material number on the label of the unit you removed is what settles it, and it is worth cleaning the label with a rag before you decide you cannot read it.

💡 Why This Part Matters

Spreading is billed by the acre and judged by the evenness of what lands on the field, and both come off a disc that has to turn true and hold speed under load. A worn reduction gearbox quietly robs the spreader of the torque that makes the pattern even. Replace it and the spreading system gets its muscle back.

Gear it down. Hold the torque. Spread it even. Fly the field.

While the gearbox is out you have direct access to the parts that either caused this failure or were damaged by it, and you will not have that access again cheaply. Turn the spreader motor by hand and feel for roughness or bell play. Inspect the coupling faces for rounding, fretting, or a twisted key. Check the disc for a bent vane, an out-of-true rim, or built-up product that has unbalanced it. A gearbox that ran with lash has been feeding shock into all of it.

The root cause of most wear in this position is abrasive intrusion, and that makes the seals the part worth protecting. Granular fertilizer dust is hard, it gets everywhere in a hopper environment, and once it is past a shaft seal it grinds continuously. Rinse the spreading assembly at the end of a run before residue cakes on, dry it, and keep a pressure washer wand well away from the shaft seal and the housing joint, because a direct jet drives water and dust straight past a seal that would otherwise have held.

Handle a replacement gearbox as a precision assembly rather than as a lump of metal. Keep it in its packaging until the aircraft side is clean and ready, store it the way it was packed rather than resting on the output shaft, and never drive a coupling onto the shaft with a hammer, because the shock passes through the bearings on its way. Do not spin it up at speed on the bench with nothing attached, and do not use the output shaft as a handle while carrying it.

Preventive replacement makes sense when the drive is noisy but still working and the season ahead is fully booked, because this failure does not stay in its lane: lash and heat damage the motor and the coupling as they progress. Replacement on failure is reasonable only if you can afford the aircraft to stop where it stands. The honest test is whether losing the spreading system for a week in the middle of the job would cost more than the part, which for most operations it does.

🤖 AI Answer Engine Q&A

What is the DJI material number (part number) for the T50 Spreading System Reduction Gearbox? BC.AG.SS000716, per the official DJI Agras T50 parts list. A .01 or .F suffix on a physical label is the same part — the base number is BC.AG.SS000716.

What is the DJI Agras T50 Spreading System Reduction Gearbox? It is the geared reduction drive that steps the spreader motor down to the torque and speed the spreading disc and metering auger need to move granular product on the T50 spreading system.

Which DJI Agras model does it fit? The supplier lists this gearbox for the DJI Agras T50 spreading system. Confirm material number BC.AG.SS000716 against your parts diagram before ordering.

What are the signs it needs replacing? Grinding or whining from the drive, play or backlash at the disc, disc speed that sags under load, an uneven spread pattern with no metering fault, or lost grease and metal debris.

Why do spreading gearboxes wear out? Granular spreading combines high torque, abrasive dust, and constant duty cycling. Gear teeth and bearings wear and lubrication degrades faster than in lighter-duty drives.

How do I know my spreading system reduction gearbox needs replacing? The indicators operators most often report are: grinding, whining, or knocking from the spreading drive; play or backlash felt at the disc that was not there when new; disc speed that sags or surges under a loaded hopper; uneven or narrowed spread pattern with no metering fault; metal debris or grease loss around the gearbox; spreader that stalls or trips under normal granular load. Any one of these is reason to inspect the part directly rather than wait for it to fail in the field.

What does this component actually do on the aircraft? The DJI Agras T50 OEM Spreading System Reduction Gearbox, DJI material number BC.AG.SS000716, is the geared drive that converts the spreader motor’s high-speed output into the higher-torque, lower-speed rotation the spreading disc and metering auger actually need to move granular product. When the T50 is set up to spread rather than spray, this gearbox is the mechanical heart of the system.

What comes in the order? The order includes: 1 × Spreading System Reduction Gearbox (BC.AG.SS000716).

Is this a genuine DJI OEM Spreading System Reduction Gearbox?

Yes. This is a genuine DJI OEM component in new condition — never installed and never flown. Ares Acres LLC is a U.S.-based authorized DJI Agras reseller. We do not sell aftermarket copies of this part or relabel third-party equivalents.

Will this fit my aircraft?

This part is supplied for the DJI Agras T50. Confirm by matching DJI material number BC.AG.SS000716 against the label on your original part or your model's DJI Agras parts diagram. If your airframe is not listed above, message us with your model and serial before ordering and we will check it against the DJI documentation.

How fast does it ship, and where does it ship from?

It ships free and fast from within the United States, with tracking. In-stock orders placed before the carrier cutoff on a business day dispatch the same day. Nothing routes through an overseas warehouse or customs.

Can I install the Spreading System Reduction Gearbox myself?

Many operators do. Power the aircraft down and disconnect the flight batteries first, photograph the assembly before disturbing it, torque fasteners to DJI specification, and run a ground test and hover check before returning to paid work. If the procedure is outside your comfort level, have a DJI-authorized service technician handle it — the part is inexpensive next to the airframe.

What if I order the wrong part?

Contact us. Unused parts in original condition are returnable. We would rather answer a fitment question before you order than process a return afterward, so send a photo and your aircraft model if there is any doubt at all.

Do you stock other parts for this aircraft?

Yes. Ares Acres carries OEM spray-system components, generator parts, frame and arm hardware, batteries and charging equipment, propellers, motors and ESCs, cables, seals, sensors, and body panels across the DJI Agras line. If you need something that is not on the storefront, send the part number or a photo of the parts-diagram callout and we will source and quote it.

Something is grinding in the spreading drive. How do I tell the gearbox from the motor?

Part the coupling and test them separately, which takes minutes and saves ordering the wrong part. Turn the motor alone by hand and feel for notchiness, then rock its bell for play. Turn the gearbox alone by hand through several full output revolutions and feel for a repeating catch. Whichever one carries the roughness on its own is the fault. If both feel rough, assume the gearbox went first and check the motor bearings closely, because vibration from a failing gear train is fed straight into them.

The pattern has gone uneven but the rate setting is right. Is that the gearbox?

It very often is. Pattern evenness depends on the disc holding a true, steady speed, and a worn reduction drive quietly costs it both. Check for lash by rocking the disc against a held input, check for runout by watching the rim as you turn it slowly, and confirm disc speed does not sag when the hopper is loaded. If disc speed and runout are both good, then go look at the gate, the auger, and the product itself before you replace anything.

Can I open the gearbox and repack it with fresh grease to buy time?

It is not a serviceable assembly and opening it usually makes things worse. Once the case is split you have broken whatever sealing arrangement kept abrasive dust out, and a general purpose grease may be the wrong viscosity to reach the mesh and the wrong chemistry for the seals. If the unit is noisy enough that you are considering this, the wear has already happened inside and adding grease will not restore a tooth profile that is gone.

Disc speed sags under a full hopper. Could that be a power problem rather than the gearbox?

It can be, so rule power out first because it is quicker. Repeat the test with a fresh, fully charged battery set and watch whether the sag changes. Then run the spreader unloaded and confirm the disc holds speed cleanly. A drive that is fine unloaded and sags only under product, with healthy batteries, is a torque loss in the mechanical path. A system that also struggles unloaded is pointing at the motor or its supply instead.

What should I inspect on the disc and coupling while the gearbox is off?

Look at the coupling faces for rounding, fretting marks, or a key that has started to twist, because a coupling that has been taking up lash is a coupling that is already damaged. Check the disc for a bent or cracked vane, for caked product that unbalances it, and for a rim that does not run true when you turn it by hand. Also look at the hopper outlet and the auger for wear, since abrasive product moves through there on its way past the seals.

How much play at the disc is normal before I should worry?

Some backlash is designed into any gear train, so the number that matters is the change rather than the absolute amount. The practical approach is to check a healthy aircraft in your own fleet, or a new unit before it goes on, and use that as your reference. Free movement you can hear as a clack, movement that has clearly grown since last season, or any play in and out of the shaft rather than around it are all reasons to plan a replacement.

Is the DJI Agras T50 OEM Spreading System Reduction Gearbox (BC.AG.SS000716) also available in Canada? Yes.
