EAVision J150 vs DJI Agras T100: Which Flagship Spray Drone Should You Buy in 2026?
Share
Disclosure up front: I'm an authorized EAVision dealer and I fly a J150 commercially. I'm also a DJI enterprise dealer, so I have no interest in running DJI down. I can't sell DJI's ag line, and this post isn't going to pretend otherwise. What I can do is tell you what actually matters when you're choosing between the two biggest spray drones you can buy in the U.S. right now.
The short answer
The DJI Agras T100 is the bigger, faster aircraft. It carries a 26-gallon tank, flies at up to 45 mph, and has the flow to run heavy rates — 3, 4, 5 gallons an acre — without slowing down. If your work is high-GPA fungicide, orchards, or big spreading jobs, and you have the crew and power to keep it fed, it's an excellent machine.
The EAVision J150 is the aircraft I'd put on most farms and with most one- or two-person operators. It's about 175 pounds with the battery on, one person can run it all day, the price is comparable, and its U.S. distributor is bringing manufacturing stateside — which matters given where DJI sits with the FCC right now. At the 2-gallon rates most row-crop work runs at, the throughput gap is smaller than the spec sheet suggests.

Specs from manufacturer and distributor published data as of September 2026. Swath and throughput vary with rate, speed, height and wind.
Tank, rate and speed
Here's where the T100 earns its reputation. At heavy rates — 4 or 5 gallons an acre on a fungicide pass, or orchard work with the four-nozzle kit — the bigger tank, the higher flow and the 45 mph transit speed all stack up in its favor. It moves a lot of liquid in a hurry, and if that's your business, nothing else in this class matches it.
At the 2-gallon rates most row-crop work runs at, the picture is closer than the tank sizes suggest. A J150 sprays out a full tank on one battery. A T100 at the same rate carries about 13 acres of product per load, but its battery is good for roughly 8 to 10 minutes of spraying, and independent testing has found the packs run hot at slower spray settings. In practice you're landing for a battery swap and a refill on about the same cadence with either aircraft, and the refill is the bottleneck, not the tank. Both machines will put down 60-plus acres an hour in an open field if the ground crew keeps up.
On dry spreading the T100 pulls clearly ahead: a 150-liter hopper and a 400 kg/min output are real advantages if cover crop seeding is a big part of what you do.
Swath: published tests
DJI lists the T100's swath at up to 43 feet. Sprayers 101, which has done some of the only independent field work on the T100, observed bimodal gaps and drift at the wide end and questioned whether the claimed widths hold up for row-crop applications.
Agri Spray Drones swath-tests every aircraft it distributes. Its published J150 results show 35 to 40 feet at 2 to 5 GPA with four nozzles, and wider under good conditions. Compare a measured number against a marketing maximum and the two aircraft are a lot closer than the spec sheet reads. Whichever you buy, swath-test it on your own ground before you set your line spacing.
Weight changes everything on the ground
A fully loaded T100 is a 386-pound aircraft. That's a different class of machine to handle, transport and power. Plan on a 14 kW-class generator, a dedicated cooling station for the batteries, and two people to move it around the truck. The J150 comes in around 175 pounds with the battery on it. I load it on a flatbed by myself.
Both aircraft are well over the 55-pound line, so both need a Part 137 certificate and a Section 44807 exemption before you spray a single acre commercially. If you're buying your first drone, budget the time for that paperwork regardless of brand. We help J150 buyers through it.
Price and the FCC question
On price, call it a wash. Authorized dealers publish pricing on both aircraft and the numbers land close to each other. The J150 is $40,495 with three batteries and a charger. Whichever way you lean, get a written all-in figure that includes batteries, charger and the generator you'll need — that's where the real comparison is.
The bigger difference is what happens after the sale. In December 2025 the FCC added DJI to its Covered List, which blocks approval of any new DJI products in the United States. The T100 was authorized before that date, so it remains legal to buy, fly and support. But the next DJI model, the next major revision, and the long-term parts and firmware picture all run through a door that's currently closed. If you're financing an aircraft over five years, that's a risk you should price in.
EAVision is going the other direction. Agri Spray Drones, its U.S. distributor, has publicly announced it's bringing manufacturing to the United States and staying within the EAVision ecosystem, and it's launching the Agri 225 — a 22.5-gallon aircraft built on the J150 platform. For a buyer who wants the next aircraft and the next parts order to come from somewhere with a clear path, that's a meaningful difference.
Parts and support
A spray drone that's down in July is a very expensive lawn ornament. Ask any dealer, of any brand, how many days a motor, an ESC or a pump takes to reach your shop in season.
For the J150, I stock genuine EAVision parts here in Newark and ship them the day you order. DJI's U.S. parts network is bigger, and a good DJI dealer will take care of you, but it's also where the Covered List uncertainty lands first.
Who should buy which
Buy the T100 if you run heavy rates or orchard work, speed across big fields is what makes you money, cover crop seeding is a major revenue line, or you're a multi-aircraft crew that already lives in DJI's software and has the people and power to feed a 386-pound machine all day.
Buy the J150 if you're a farm putting a drone on your own acres, a one- or two-person application business running mostly 2-gallon row-crop work, or anyone who wants an aircraft one person can run, transport and maintain — with a manufacturer path that isn't tied up at the FCC. It's what I fly, and it's what I'd buy again.
Want to see one work?
I'm two miles from where I grew up in Kendall County, and the J150 I sell is the same one I spray with. If you're within 100 miles of Newark, Illinois, I'll bring it to your field and let you watch a tank go out before you decide anything. Farther than that, I'll get on the phone and give you straight numbers for your acres and your crops. J150 specs and pricing are here, or call 630-465-4539.
