Vervaet is introducing an updated version of its Q-616 sugar beet harvester for the 2025/26 harvesting campaign.
This latest Q-616 features a new, larger cab, 360-degree camera system and a third-generation front-end where owners can choose from three toppers to match their specific needs. Additionally, there is a choice between a rollerbed or turbine-only primary cleaning system to suit different soil types and harvesting conditions.
Additionally, there is a choice between a rollerbed or turbine-only range of technical improvements, updated styling and numerous new options. This facelift continues the progression of the Q-Series harvester design in line with Vervaet’s policy of ongoing development. “Since its launch in 2016, the Q-Series has been a huge success,” says Jonathan Hoekman, commercial director at Frans Vervaet BV.
“Thanks to its modular design, manoeuvrability, and straight-forward layout this machine has proven itself across various markets and countries. With this latest update we aim to continue and strengthen this success. We feel we have built a robust machine for the immediate future.”
According to importer J Riley, the Q-616 is Britain’s favourite sugar beet harvester, outselling both its siblings in the Vervaet range and rival machines from competitor manufacturers by a considerable margin.
“The Q-616 has proven itself in the UK as a worthy successor to the 17-T and Beet Eater 617,” points out J Riley’s managing director Matt Carse. “Its versatility makes it well-suited to both farmers and contractors lifting across the full range of soil types, it has consistently outsold the competition since its introduction.”
