Five years after the [[Helm Memory Core]] was decoded by the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]] on [[New Avalon]], [[Iroquois Machinery Limited]] of [[Shawnee]] utilized the technology breakthrough to develop a new design of harvesting machine.  The '''''Harvester''''' is based on [[Star League]] prototype schematics of a new compact [[IndustrialMech]], and this new Iroquois machine proved three times faster than conventional harvesting machines. It enjoyed widespread use among the [[Federated Suns]]' food producing worlds within 10 years of its introduction.<ref name=TROVAR>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex'', p. 200: "Harvester 'Mech Profile"</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 214: Background and stats for the ''Harvester''</ref> Years later, in the 3120s, the design was licensed out to [[Achernar IndustrialMechs]] and [[DiNapoli Industries]], surviving in a new form.<ref name=TROp40-41>''Technical Readout: Irregulars'', pp. 40–41: "''Harvester'' AgroMech MODs"</ref>

The 'Mech is equipped with a 15 ton capacity [[lift hoist]] on its right arm, which allows it to handle heavy loads. The hoist is then able to load its cargo onto trailing cargo trucks. A [[Combine (Equipment)|combine]] takes the place of its left hand [[actuator]]. In the center torso, the 'Mech has a half-ton capacity cargo hold.<ref name=TROVAR/>

==Notes==
 
* The HVR-199 series of ''Harvester''s was originally introduced by [[WizKids]] in the [[MechWarrior: Dark Age Collectable Miniatures Game]] under the generic name ''AgroMech''. The 199 series was initially 35 tons,<ref>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 58: "Bill Maignlov"</ref> and early record sheets were published in [[Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I]]. The publication of ''[[Technical Readout: Irregulars]]'' renamed the ''AgroMech'' and gave it its current tonnage.
