DJI AGRAS T25 vs T25P — what has changed and which one to choose?

DJI released the T25P as the successor to the T25 — but what has actually changed? Is it worth paying extra for the new model, or is the T25 still a good choice? In this article, we compare both drones from the perspective of daily field work — without unnecessary technical jargon, but with concrete figures and conclusions.

A quick summary for those short on time

If you mainly spray, the difference between the T25 and T25P is smaller than it might seem. If you spread fertilizers or seeds, the T25P is clearly superior. If you work on difficult terrain, in orchards, or after dark, the T25P also wins. If you have a T25 in good condition, there's no reason to replace it just for the sake of it.

What remains unchanged

Let's start with what is identical — because this is important information if you already own a T25 and are considering an upgrade or purchasing a second drone.

  • Spray tank — 20 L in both models
  • Flow rate with 2 nozzles — 16 L/min in both models
  • 4-nozzle option — available in both, flow rate 24 L/min
  • DB800 battery — the same, fully compatible between models
  • C8000 charging station — supports both models
  • O4 transmission range — 2 km in both
  • Maximum flight speed — similar in both models
  • Single-person operation — both are designed for solo work
Important information for T25 owners DB800 batteries and the C8000 charging station are fully compatible between the T25 and T25P. If you're adding a second drone to your fleet, you can use the same power equipment.

Where the T25P is clearly superior — comparison table

Parameter DJI AGRAS T25 DJI AGRAS T25P
Spreading system 35 L tank, 25 kg, 72 kg/min flow rate, 7 m width Spreading System 4.0 — 30 L tank, 25 kg, 190 kg/min flow rate, 8 m width
Spreading precision Standard centrifugal disc Screw feeder — 2× higher dosing precision, automatic calibration
Safety system Safety System 2.0 — radar + binocular vision, ~30 m range, slopes up to 20° Safety System 3.0 — radar + Tri-Vision, 10× higher computing power, 60 m range, slopes up to 50°
FPV camera Standard FPV camera Virtual gimbal + electronic image stabilization, color night mode
Night lighting No dedicated work lighting 75-watt navigation lights, up to 25 m visible range
Signal relay No support for DJI Relay DJI O4 Relay support — extended range in difficult terrain
Field mapping Up to 13.3 ha / flight Up to 13.3 ha / flight
Orchard mapping Up to 5.33 ha / flight, slopes up to 20° Up to 5.33 ha / flight, slopes up to 50°, Orchard Mode 4.0

Spreading — the biggest practical difference

If you spread fertilizers or seeds, the T25P is clearly the better choice. The new screw feeder in Spreading System 4.0 has changed the system's operation principle:

  • Flow rate increased from 72 to 190 kg/min — more than 2.5 times higher
  • Spreading width increased from 7 to 8 meters
  • Dosing precision doubled thanks to the screw feeder vs. standard flap
  • Automatic calibration and real-time weighing — no need to manually set the flow rate with every material change
  • Templates saved in the cloud — recall settings for a given fertilizer with one click

For someone who uses spreading occasionally, the difference might be less significant. For an operator who regularly spreads multi-component fertilizers or seeds, the T25P simply works more accurately and faster.

Orchards and difficult terrain — where the T25P truly shines

Safety System 3.0 with a detection range of 60 m (vs. ~30 m in T25) and support for slopes up to 50° (vs. 20° in T25) are not just marketing numbers — they make a real difference when working in apple orchards, vineyards, and on slopes. The T25 performed well on moderately sloped terrain, but with steep slopes or dense foliage, it was less reliable. The T25P with Orchard Mode 4.0 automatically generates 3D flight paths adapted to tree distribution and avoids obstacles at higher speeds.

Night work The T25P is the first DJI agricultural drone to introduce 75-watt navigation lights and a color FPV camera with night mode. A visible range of up to 25 m in low light enables safe operations at dusk or early morning — when the wind is weakest and conditions for spraying are optimal. With the T25, night work was possible, but significantly less comfortable and safe.

Spraying — where the difference is smaller

For spraying cereal fields, rapeseed, or corn, both drones produce similar results. A 20 L tank, 16 L/min flow rate with 2 nozzles, the option of 4 nozzles — these parameters are the same. Daily efficiency under the same conditions will be similar.

You'll notice the difference when working in difficult terrain — the T25P better tracks slopes and more reliably avoids obstacles, which translates into smoother missions and less operator intervention. On flat, open fields, the difference is smaller.

Who is the T25 for, and who is the T25P for?

DJI AGRAS T25 — a good choice if:
You mainly spray flat or gently sloping fields; spreading is a marginal application; you already have a T25 in good condition and don't need night work or difficult terrain; you are looking for a cheaper option for your fleet as a supplementary drone.
DJI AGRAS T25P — a better choice if:
You regularly spread fertilizers or seeds and value dosing precision; you work in orchards, vineyards, or on sloped terrain; you plan to work at dawn or dusk; you want the latest safety system with a 60 m range; you are looking for a drone that will last for years with future DJI software updates in mind.

Is it worth upgrading from T25 to T25P?

If you have a T25 and it's in good working order — there's no reason to replace it just because the T25P was released. The T25 still does its job well for spraying.

An upgrade makes sense if:

  • Your T25 has high mileage and is nearing replacement — then it's worth upgrading directly to the T25P
  • You are expanding your fleet with a second drone — buy the T25P, as it will work better with newer software
  • You are increasingly undertaking spreading jobs — Spreading System 4.0 genuinely improves the quality and efficiency of this service
  • You have started working with orchards or on difficult terrain — here, the T25P offers a clear advantage
One important caveat The T25P controller (T25P Smart Remote Controller) is not compatible with the T25 and vice versa. If you have a mixed fleet of T25 + T25P, each drone requires its own controller. However, DB800 batteries and the C8000 station are common to both models.
