The new exterior styling is not the only change to the Vervaet Q-616 beet harvester for the coming season. The Claas X11 cab is also new and there are several other updates.

These include the updated lifter frame, which is said to improve efficiency and precision during harvesting, resulting in fewer losses and a cleaner harvest. The Q-616 now comes as standard with the third generation front-end.

The Claas X11 cab is new on the Q-616. The harvester is fully CAN-bus controlled for better and more accurate data transmission.

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.

Hydraulic upgrades include new valves and pumps for better responsiveness, and the Q comes with an extensive software update which, Vervaet says, ensures better performance, greater ease of use, and even more reliability.

The new 360-degree camera system gives operators a complete overview of the machine and work area, and the harvester now comes with fully electric mirrors.

“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 Beet Harvesters (Vervaet’s UK importer) 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.”
