| ==History==
| | There are at least five series of JOTUNs Farming Equipment and at least one prototype model. |
| During the [[First Battle of Harvest]], Harvest's agricultural operations AI, [[Mack]], used JOTUN cropdusters to knock down a {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}} in [[Utgard]]. After the human survivors escaped the planet, Mack transferred himself into the thousands of JOTUNs operating on the planet. As the [[Covenant]] [[Glassing|glassed]] Harvest, Mack used the JOTUN machines to relay messages to the colony's shipping operations AI, [[Sif]], when both of their data arrays had been destroyed. His messages were later recorded in [[ONI Colonial Security Estimate 2525.10.110]].

However, the [[Jiralhanae]] of the ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'' appropriated the Huragok's creation as a combat vehicle and it became the template for what would be later known as the [[Brute Chopper]]. | | One of the prototypes was on a [[Human]] [[freighter]], ''[[This End Up]]'', commanded by [[Henry Gibson|Henry "Hank" Gibson]], who was killed in the resulting fight with the Covenant.
