| |
| − | One of many ''AgroMechs'' on the market in the mid-[[thirty-first century]], this machine was produced by Achernar IndustrialMechs (formerly [[Achernar BattleMechs]]). <ref>''Ghost War'' (Original Printing), Mini-TRO 3130 - ''AgroMech'' vehicle profile revealing Achernar name change.</ref> The 'Mech is noted for having more armor than any other AgroMech in its class.

| |
| − | The Achernar ''AgroMech''<ref>''Ghost War'' (Original Printing), Mini-TRO 3130 - Fluff names the machine Company name type of machine it is, thus giving it a unique name.</ref> is equipped with a Class III Heavy-Duty Claw, to allow it to move grain or other items it must handle. Its primary piece of equipment is a Rotary Saw.
| |
| − | The machine is powered by a 140 rated [[Internal Combustion Engine]] which allows it to move around fields very quickly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To protect the machine from being damaged by inexperienced operators or other hazards, its chassis is encased with HeavyDuty II [[Barrier Armor Rating#IndustrialMech Armor|Armor]].

| |
| − | *;AgroMech MOD : This is a stripped down and armed variant of the ''AgroMech'' which began to appear in [[3132]]. The variant suffers from a significant reduction of armor and speed. It is armed with [[AC-5|Class 5 Armstrong Autocannon]] with twenty rounds ammunition which are both mounted in the 'Mech's right arm. In addition to its autocannon, the 'Mech has been fitted with a single [[Heat Sink]] found in its right leg which allows the 'Mech to enter water for cooling purposes. BV (1.0) = 339<ref>''Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I'', p. 32</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | *;AgroMech MOD-B : This the second military refit/variant of the ''AgroMech''. This variant continues to use Starslab/3 Military Armor. Its right arm's lower actuator is replaced with a [[Rotary Autocannon/2]]. It still mounts its original DiNapoli “Groundhog” Reinforced Combine after closing for melee combat.<ref>http://cf.sarna.net/docs/mwda_dossiers/fire_for_effect_29.pdf MWDA Bannson's Raider's dossier of Bill Maiglow</ref>

| − | ==Record Sheet and Fluff Notes==
| |
| − | The ''AgroMech'' was one of the early [[MechWarrior: Dark Age]] IndustrialMechs to be given stats. Since this design was published in 2002, the 'Mech's armor uses [[Armor - BattleMechs & Vehicles|Standard BattleMech]] armor instead of Industrial Armor introduced in [[TechManual]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Naming conventions state that it is representative of all ''AgroMechs'' produced. Thus another generic design, the ''Harvester'' though similar to this 'Mech, is considered different.
