The NPC introduced this world quest as, "I am hearing reports of some sort of horrible plant monstrosity near the kraul. Our mechanical farmhands should make quick work of it." This made me think that we could use the mechanical harvester to kill the mobs, like we did when we did the quest while leveling. However, I couldn't use the mechanical harvester, so I ended up killing everything myself. Did anyone else find a way to use a harvester?

Came here wondering the same thing. Couldn't find a way to pilot the Repaired Farmhand though.
There's a harvesting machine @ 51.57 65.96, that you use for the non-WQ quest, so I was assuming that was to be used for the WQ version as well. However, there's no interactions with it, so assuming again that you have to do yer killin' ye ole fashion way.
That is every comment on this page.
