MAZEX Tobisuke 15 Agricultural Spraying Drone

MAZEX is a Japanese manufacturer of industrial drones that develops and builds agricultural, transport and forestry drones in Higashi-Osaka. It focuses on simple operation and domestic design suited to Japanese farms, reports more than 3,000 drones delivered and sells through dealer networks across Japan, alongside lease plans, insurance, maintenance, permit applications and a drone school.

Tobisuke 15 is its flagship spraying drone with a 15 L liquid tank or a 25 L, 15 kg granular spreader and a 6 m swath. A patented spraying system combines four large propellers with front and rear nozzles that switch automatically with flight direction, using strong downwash to reach leaf undersides and reduce drift. A smart Android transmitter with a dedicated app supports fully automatic map-based flight with obstacle-aware routes, AB mode and straight-line assist, while altitude and obstacle radars and a camera are standard. MAZEX also offers the Tobisuke 10 and mini sprayers, Karusuke cargo drones and smart farm machinery.

• Large payload: 15 L liquid tank with a 10 L/min pump or 25 L, 15 kg granular spreader.
• Patented spraying: four 34-inch propellers and automatically switching front and rear Lechler nozzles.
• Fully automatic flight: map-based area selection with automatic routes that avoid marked obstacles.
• Standard radars and camera: altitude-hold radar for terraced slopes and obstacle radar that stops and hovers.
• Granular attachments: six attachments and 30 shutter settings give 180 opening patterns.
• Operator aids: AB mode, straight-line assist, low-tank alerts and resume-from-stop spraying.

• Terraced rice cooperatives in the Northern mountains using altitude-hold radar for safe spraying on slopes.
• Vegetable and fruit growers in Lam Dong applying fungicides with low-drift downwash spraying.
• Agricultural machinery dealers adding a lease-based drone package with maintenance and pilot training.

• Spraying takes about one minute per 10 a, versus roughly one hour with conventional methods, according to the company.
• One battery can spray up to 12 L, about 1.5 ha, sized for typical Japanese field areas.
• Patented downwash spraying gives coverage comparable to unmanned helicopters on cereals, vegetables and fruit while reducing drift.
• Domestic maker with lease plans, insurance, maintenance and permit support for first-time drone users.

Japan's ageing rice and vegetable farmers are replacing manual spraying and unmanned helicopters with compact drones, supported by subsidies and dealer networks. Hilly and terraced fields, small plots and strict pesticide-label rules, common across Asia, favour drones with terrain-following radar, drift control and simple operation.

Based in Higashi-Osaka; the company cites 15 years since its founding and more than 3,000 industrial drones delivered, and is certified as a domestic maker by the Japan Agricultural Aviation Association. Product prices start at JPY 1.2 million for Tobisuke 15. In 2026 it formed a long-term partnership with AIRSTAGE in Hokkaido and began sales through Arclands home centres.
