Start Your Spray Drone Journey
Whether you want to spray your own farm or start a custom application business, Buckeye Agri Drones provides the equipment, training, and support to get you operational and profitable.
Starting Your Own Spray Drone Business
Starting a spray drone business can feel overwhelming at first.
Most people quickly realize the drone itself is only a small part of the process. Questions about equipment selection, batteries, charging, mixing systems, trailers, and setup logistics come up fast and making the wrong decisions early can be expensive.
Our goal is simple: help you start correctly the first time.
We work with new operators every season and guide them step-by-step from “interested” to fully operational in the field.
Step 1: Learn Before You Buy
Before purchasing equipment, we strongly recommend understanding what a real spray drone operation looks like and what to expect during your first season.
Start with these guides:
Step 2: Attend a Demo Day
Reading about spray drones helps but seeing a real operation in person is what truly makes everything click.
Our demo days are designed specifically for people considering starting a spray drone business. You will see the entire process from start to finish, not just the aircraft flying. We demonstrate mixing, loading, battery changes, workflow, and how an actual spray day operates in the field.
This is also your chance to ask questions, talk through your situation, and understand what equipment you would actually need.
Most people leave a demo day with a clear answer to the question:
“Is this something I can realistically do?”
Reserve a spot at the next demo day:
Private one-on-one demos are also available if you prefer a more personal walkthrough.
Step 3: Book a Free Spray Drone Startup Consultation
Thinking about getting into spray drones but not sure where to begin?
We offer a free consultation to help you understand what equipment you actually need, what it will cost, and whether a spray drone business fits your goals. There is no obligation, this conversation is meant to give you clarity before you invest in equipment.
Most consultations take about 20–30 minutes and can be done by phone.
Step 4: Build Your Equipment Plan

Step 2: Select and Customize Your Trailer Setup
We take all of the headache out of designing and building a spray drone setup. With thousands of acres worth of experience, we have designed our trailers to be as efficient as possible. We build all of our trailers to order and customized for our customers exact needs.
Gooseneck Spray Drone Trailer
Designed for large fields, multiple drones and covering hundreds of acres in a day.
Main Features:
1000-gallon center drain water tank
2x 200 gallon cone bottom hot mix tanks
38ft flight deck with room for 2 drones and a pilot protection area
Made to get to those hard-to-reach and small fields. A one man and one drone setup, perfect for beginners.
Main Features:
16ft flight deck
275-gallon IBC tote for water
2x 110-gallon cone bottom hot mix tanks
Truck Slide-In Spray Drone Setup
Spray Drone Trailer and Truck Slide-In Pricing
Pricing varies widely as every setup is different and completely customized to fit your exact needs. These spray drone systems are built to order and no two outfits we make are the same. A farmer with 500 acres across 50 fields doesn’t need the same setup as a custom applicator doing 400 acres a day. Our builds are also not limited to just gooseneck trailers and truck slide-ins, so if you would like a bumper pull or something else please specify.
Without plumbing expect the trailer to start around $25,000 and the slide-in to start at $10,000. From there you can decide on accessories such as what kind of plumbing setup you would like.
