Drones have found uses in all areas of society, from performing surveillance to even fishing. One unique use case they have recently found is for spreading materials, such as seeds. In this article, we outline the best drones for spreading, drones for spreading seeds, and much more!
Seed spreading, or spreading fertilizer with a drone allows a user to reach places that traditionally would be hard to access, or to simply spread seeds much faster. Our seed spreader drones can spread up to 40x faster than manual spreading, and allow users to spread seeds quickly and efficiently on hills, wetlands, and other places that heavy machinery would have a hard time reaching.
Spreading moss killer with a drone is an efficient way to spread moss killer on roofs and hard to reach places. Several companies are already using our drones to spread moss killer on roofs, saving substantial time compared to having to climb up ladders to reach roofs and other places were moss tends to grow. Not to mention the substantially reduced risk of a safety incident such as someone falling from a roof while climbing up.
Spreading seeds in wetlands with a drone is a quick way to do a task that can traditionally be very difficult. The nature of wetlands makes them hard to access with traditional heavy machinery, without disrupting the ecosystem. Using a seed spreader drone allows the operator to plant seeds much more efficiently and with much less disruption than other equipment.
Spreading ice melter with a drone is a quick and effective way to cover a large amount of ground with ice melter in a relatively short period of time. A seed spreader drone can spread ice melter up to 40x faster than manually spreading ice melter by hand. Just remember when buying one to ensure that it has a winter operation package installed since our drones without these modifications are generally not meant to be used in winter conditions.
Spreading lime with a drone is a quick way to spread lime over large distances, or in hard to reach places much faster than doing it manually.
Spreading corn with a drone for fertilizer, or to attract animals is a quick and effective way to cover large distances quickly. A drone can also fly around areas that may be hard for vehicles or larger equipment to access. With our optional “professional package”, we have sense and avoid sensors built into our seed spreaders, allowing you to fly in smaller spaces without crashing the drone.
Spreading fish feed with a drone is a very effective way to cover large surface area evenly with fish food. With a spreader drone, you can spread the fish food quickly and evenly over a large area of water. Using a drone means you can complete the whole operation from the lakeside without having to send any boats or people into the water to complete the feeding.
Spreading aggregate with a drone is a quick way to spread gravel, and other materials over large distances, or in hard to reach places much faster than doing is manually.
The following drones are manufactured by us and are some of the only drones on the market for spreading. We sell the drone, and we also sell the spreading attachment separately for those interested in purchasing it on its own. All of our drones are built to order in the United States and Mexico, so if you have any specific requirements we can try to incorporate them into your seed spreader drone.
Our 2Kg seed spreader drone is our most popular for small projects and was a hit at AUVSI 2018. Many attendees of the drone expo got to see the drone up close and in operation. The drone is based on the Tarot X6 Ready To Fly Drone and comes fully ready to fly out of the box.
