The Dutch manufacturer produced a record 60+ self-propelled slurry machines this year, and sold the highest number ever in the UK through its British importer J Riley Beet Harvesters.

Vervaet claims to enjoy a market-leading position across Europe with its self-propelled slurry machines. “However, we have been a little behind in the UK mainly due to not always having the right machine to meet British demands,” comments sales manager Jonathan Hoekman. “But the Quad 550 self-propelled slurry applicator was designed with the UK market in mind, and it is proving to be the right machine.”

Incidentally, this year’s sugar beet campaign will mark the 30th anniversary of J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) as a Vervaet importer. “I’m extremely excited to see the new developments that Vervaet has made within the last two years,” says Matt Carse, sales manager at J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK).

“We have seen the launch of the Quad 550 self-propelled slurry applicator and the introduction of the rollerbed option for sugar beet harvesters, and I see an exciting future for both sides of the product portfolio.”
