Holland, Indiana (SW IN) | I’m figuring $1-2 an acre battery cost
I’m thinking additional $4 parts per acre
We’ll be $75K all in trailer drone licenses etc
One T40 4 batteries, used diesel generator, tall deck trailer, extra generator in case first one breaks down, air conditioner for batteries, my time and engineering at five cents an hour
Just like all of farming how much done an hour depends on how big, square, level, obstructions, field is
How quick and dedicated you are
6 fills an hour is 30 acres an hour at 2 gallons an acre
I’ve witnessed “operators” couldn’t hit themselves with both hands
My SIL partner runs ours —been a learning year he’s now confident and gets the job done — he’s pretty sharp about computers— spends evenings setting up fields- and studying application methods
It’s not nearly as easy as hitting a return button after you fill
