Vervaet Q-616 harvester to receive update

The updated Q-616 features a new cab, a 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 Frans Vervaet BV’s commercial director Jonathan Hoekman.

“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. As a family-owned company now in its third generation, we feel we have built a robust machine for the immediate future.”

“The Q-616 has proven itself in the UK as a worthy successor to the legendary Vervaet 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.

“The large UK population means we can also offer good-quality refurbished machines. Plus, first-class backup, which is all as part of the package.”
