'''Jotun Heavy Industries''' is a [[Human]] company based on [[Mars]].<ref name="Harvest97">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 97''</ref> They design and manufacture farming and other agriculture equipment and are specialized in the construction of semi-autonomous farm machinery.

There are at least five series of JOTUNs Farming Equipment and at least one prototype model.  

This series is out of date and mainly used by smaller farmers on Harvest.<ref name="Harvest97"/>

Series 4 are larger machines that can host a part of an A.I. [[Mack]] used machines of this series to survive Harvest as long as possible.<ref name="Harvest97"/> The series 4 Gondolas collect crops from the sides of the machines. [[Johnson]] and [[Byrne]] used one of these to provide a distraction while they snuck up on the recruits in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''.

Series 5 are larger machines that can host a part of an A.I. Mack used machines of this series to protect Harvest for as long as possible.<ref name="Harvest97"/> The series 5 Gondolas collect crops from the rear of the machine. It is powered by a three thousand horsepower ethanol-electric engine.

===Multi-Tasking Machines===

Although their official name is unknown, Johnson saw these in the Harvest's capital city of [[Utgard]].<ref name="Harvest97"/> They are a series of JOTUNs that are capable of doing a large variety of different tasks.

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. When the Covenant attacked the vessel, the [[Huragok]] [[Lighter Than Some]] saw the prototype and built four vehicles based on it that would be later known as the [[Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle]], which is also later known as the "Brute Chopper" later in the Human-Covenant War.

JOTUN crop dusters are used to spray fertilizers and fungicides on a variety of crops.

=== Oliphant ===

After being ordered by [[Sadie Endesha]] to commandeer city transportation to move an 800 pound man named [[Jonas]], [[New Mombasa]]'s [[Superintendent (Construct)|Superintendent]] pulled schematics out of its database depicting an [[Olifant]] (a variant of the UNSC's standard [[M312 Elephant HRV|Elephant HRV]]) labeled with a Jotun insignia, indicating that Jotun Heavy Industries may be responsible for producing both Olifant garbage trucks and the larger Elephants as well.

There is little or nothing known about JOTUN's Series 1 and 3 machines.

* The name JOTUN is a phrase from Norse mythology, meaning "giant", fitting with the many Norse references on Harvest.

*[[Mack]] used JOTUN cropdusters to knock down a [[Covenant]] [[DX-Class Dropship|Spirit]] in [[Utgard]].

*The Brute Chopper is based on the JOTUN farmer vehicle and was created by the [[Huragok]] [[Lighter Than Some]] as a peace gift to the [[Humans]].

*In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' Jotun's Company Logo can be seen in multiple buildings in [[New Mombasa]], suggesting that they had/have a branch in the city.
