Vector HD580 Agricultural Spray Drone — 18.5 gal (70 L) High-Capacity Sprayer

The Vector HD580 is a high-capacity agricultural spray drone built for fast, repeatable field work with an 18.5 gal (70 L) liquid tank, centrifugal atomization (50–500 μm), and an integrated safety stack featuring active phased-array omnidirectional radar. Designed for efficient logistics and serviceability, the HD580 pairs flexible autonomous planning with high flow options (2- or 4-nozzle configurations) for demanding application windows.

Package Options & Expert Guidance

The Vector HD580 is available in multiple package configurations to match different application needs—from spraying-focused setups to spreading-capable builds and higher-throughput workflows. Our expert team will help you choose the best configuration based on your specific use-case, and budget, so you get the right performance without paying for features you don’t need.

Key performance highlights (at a glance)

• Tank capacity: 18.5 gal (70 L)

• Coverage (manufacturer-stated): 50–70 ac/hr at 2 GPA (actual results vary—see note below)

• Max flow rate: 7.9 gal/min (30 L/min) with 2 centrifugal nozzles or 10.6 gal/min (40 L/min) with 4 centrifugal nozzles

• Max speed: ~40 mph (18.2 m/s)

• Max swath: up to 33.7 ft (10.3 m) (setup dependent)

• Safety: Active Phased Array Omnidirectional Radar obstacle avoidance

Coverage clarification (important)

The 50–70 ac/hr @ 2 GPA figure is a manufacturer claim based on favorable conditions and an optimized workflow. Real-world output can change significantly with:

• Application rate (GPA / L/ac)

• Field shape and turning frequency

• Obstacles (trees, poles, lines), terrain, and headlands

• Wind limits, buffer requirements, and pilot operating style

• Refill / battery swap workflow and staging distance

Why teams choose the Vector HD580

Built for field handling and uptime

The HD580’s 4-axis layout and field-ready design focus on practical realities—transport, staging, and minimizing handling friction. Service-focused design choices (like accessible electronics placement and robust wiring protection) help reduce downtime when you’re running hard during tight spray windows.

Flexible spray performance with centrifugal atomization

Centrifugal nozzles provide consistent atomization from 50–500 microns (50–500 μm), supporting a wide range of crop protection and foliar programs. Two flow configurations (2- or 4-nozzle) help match the output to your target GPA and speed.

Safety and situational awareness

An integrated safety stack built around active phased-array omnidirectional radar supports obstacle avoidance and operational confidence in complex environments. FPV visibility and lighting support help expand usable operating conditions.

Autonomous planning that fits real farms

The software suite supports flexible autonomous missions—edge work, single-side passes, smart resume, multi-field workflows, prescription map support, and more—so you can adapt plans to how the farm is actually laid out, not how a perfect rectangle looks on paper.
