Successful debut for all-new Vervaet Q-Series
S
trong interest is reported by J Riley in the all-new Ver- vaet Q-Series beet harvest-
er which received its UK debut at the company’s latest biennial demonstration earlier this year. Held on 5 January by kind per- mission of H Jones (Farms) Ltd at Great Witchingham, Norfolk, the event attracted customers old and new from all over the UK and Ire- land, said Vervaet sales specialist Henry Baker. “We are particularly pleased with the response we had to the new Q-Series harvesters which ran really well and were very well received. We were very for- tunate with the weather, and the hog roast was enjoyed by all. We would like to thank everyone who
attended for their support.” Both the new models share the
same ‘one wheel per track’ layout with close-coupled rear wheels enabling the machine to spread its weight over the full working width for minimal soil impact. This also gives the machines ex- treme manoeuvrability and a very tight turning circle.
The new Q-Series harvest- ers feature a new lifter frame, improved cleaning and new tur- bine options, wider ring trace mounted crossways and a longer elevator now sited at the front of the tank. The engine is mounted crossways behind the rear axle for better weight distribution and easier access.
The lighter Q-616 with a
16-tonne capacity tank and 465hp engine is the replacement for the legendary market-leading Beet Eater 617. The larger Q-621 boasts a 21-tonne holding bunker and a more powerful 510hp DAF engine. There is the option of a 40kph top road speed.
The latest generation Beet Eater 625 was also shown work- ing alongside the new harvesters. It is powered by a 15.6-litre 623hp Mercedes-Benz Tier 4F engine – a fi rm favourite among larger con- tractors working on medium and heavy soils.
