The days of buying a Stearman and hanging spray booms and installing a hopper are long gone. Modern AG Plane cockpits are high tech with GPS Guidance and Real Time Mapping of the field the pilot is working. Air conditioning and adjustable seat with adjustable rudder pedals provides more creature comforts, The Air Tractor uses servo tabs so the pilot is flying the tab instead of the larger control surface to help reduce fatigue..
Ag aviation made major leaps and bounds with GPS and the Turbine Engine. A modern New Ag plane today can easily top 2 Million Dollars.
