Description
One of many AgroMechs in the market in mid-31st Century, this one was produced by Achernar IndustrialMechs (formerly Achernar BattleMechs).[2] The 'Mech is noted for having the more armor than any other of its class. It is popular on harvesting worlds within last couple years since before 3130.
Equipment & Capacities
The Achernar AgroMech[3] 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 Armor.

Variants
- AgroMech MOD - This is a stripped down and armed variant of the AgroMech which began to appear in 3132. The variant suffers from a significat reduction of armor and speed. It is armed with 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 single Heat Sink found in its right leg which would allow the 'Mech to enter water for cooling purposes. BV (1.0) = 339 (BV.1 Cost C-Bills) = 1,419,862
- ArgoMech MOD-B - This the second military refit/variant of the AgroMech. This this variant continues to use Starlab/3 military armor. Its right arm actuator's lower arm is replaced Rotary Autocannon/2. Still mounts its original DiNapoli “Groundhog” Reinforced Combine after closing for for melee combat.[4]
Record Sheet and Fluff Notes
The AgroMech was one early MechWarrior: Dark Age IndustrialMechs to be given stats. Since this design was published in 2002, the 'Mech's armor uses Standard BattleMech armor instead of Industrial Armor introduced in TechManual.
Naming conventions states that it is representive of all AgroMechs produced. Thus another generic design, the Harvester though similar to this 'Mech, is considered different.
