Advantages of Drone Spreading
Successful cover crop establishment
Drones give rapid, precise coverage without soil compaction. Broadcast small seeds (e.g., clover, vetch, phacelia) into standing crops pre-harvest or immediately post-harvest to hit the right moisture window.
Hard-to-reach terrain? Solved
Steep banks, wet fields, inaccessible corners - all covered. With drones, you're not bound by the rules of traditional ground-based machinery. You can now spread across land with awkward slopes, soft ground, or annoying obstacles. Drones ensure even coverage.
Overseeding without disruption
Re-seed weak patches directly into standing crops. Unlike ground equipment, drones can fly over a crop canopy to deliver seed precisely where it’s needed, patching gaps without damaging plants or compacting soil.
Fast and Efficient Spreading
Spread up to 1,300kg per hour. With an 80L container, drones deliver the output of multiple workers hand-seeding, without fatigue, and rival smaller tractor-mounted spreaders but without the soil compaction, fuel costs, or long re-fill trips.
Stay Weather Ready All Year
Complete operations even when tractors can't get onto fields. Can't get a tractor onto your waterlogged fields? Our drones operate in conditions that heavy machinery would get stuck in, which means your operations stay on schedule no matter what British weather throws at you.

Solving the challenges that cost you money every season
Rising Input Costs
The Challenge: Spreadable products are getting more expensive every year.
The Solution: Drones enable us to apply the precise volume of product to defined zones through GPS, eliminating over or under application and ensuring uniform spreading standards. Less product consumed = more money back into your pocket.
Tight Spreading Windows
The Challenge: Short weather windows (wind, rain, temperature) mean missed opportunities and yield loss.
The Solution: Drones can be deployed immediately and operate in short optimal weather windows, allowing operations that would be impossible with slower ground rigs.
Difficulty Monitoring Crops
The Challenge: Traditional crop monitoring can be slow and imprecise, making it difficult to spot early signs of stress or disease.
The Solution: By using drones with NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) cameras, farmers gain instant, high-resolution insights into plant health across large fields. NDVI technology highlights problem areas quickly, enabling targeted interventions and smarter resource use, saving time and boosting yields.
Crop Damage
The Challenge: Tramlines and compaction are costing you yield every harvest, especially on tall crops.
The Solution: Aerial application eliminates all ground traffic damage. Protect 100% of your crop potential with zero physical impact. Drones fly above your crops, spreading without making contact with the crop.
