What it actually costs to keep a spray drone flying

The sticker price of a spray drone is the easy number. The one that decides whether the operation makes money is parts and downtime.

Spray nozzles, misting components, and lift-system parts wear with hours. A down drone during a spray window isn't a repair bill, it's lost acres you can't bill for. The fix is boring: stock the wear parts before the season, and buy from someone who keeps them on the shelf. We stock all seven T100 systems for exactly this reason.
