Q-Series Harvester

Lightweight, manouverable and versatile

The state-of-the-art Vervaet Q-616 has been the UK’s best-selling sugar beet harvester since its launch in 2016. Extremely manoeuvrable and economical to run, the compact and lightweight Q-616 combines simplicity and reliability with modern technology and comfort.

Topping & Lifting

The Combi 2 topper is capable of mulching beet tops between the rows for easy incorporation or spreading to the right-hand side. Flail speeds of up to 1200rpm ensure tops are thoroughly pulverised. The compact and light Integral topper can also be specified, and is a mulching-only topper. Scalper height and angle is adjusted from the cab.

The unique Vervaet lifting unit uses rotating walking shares. Their speed is adjustable from the cab, and at 700rpm each share makes 23 lifting movements per second. A self-seeking ability ensures gentle and precise lifting. Lifting depth is accurately controlled by hydraulically driven steel depth wheels. Hydraulic row-width adjustment is standard.

Cleaning

Vervaet is the only manufacturer to offer two types of primary cleaning system – turbines or rollerbed. The tried and tested turbine system offers maximum cleaning for coping with even the stickiest of clay soils, with plenty of options including contra-rotating and open-ended turbines. The rollerbed offers another option for those working on suitable soil types. Seven full-width rollers feed the beet to a central cleaning turbine between the front wheels, continuing the positive cleaning action.

Depending upon harvester configuration, secondary cleaning setups can bring the turbine count up an industry-leading total of six. Turbine speed is steplessly adjusted from the cab, and a variety of turbine types and gates are available. The ring trace brings the beet to the 16-tonne capacity tank and a full-length auger levels the load.

Engine & Running Gear

The Q-616 is powered by a 530hp DAF Paccar engine which runs at just 1100 to 1350rpm for extremely low fuel consumption and cost-effective lifting. A 40kph transmission is optional. With the rear wheels mounted close together the harvester has a true one-wheel-per-track capability for minimal soil impact and excellent manoeuvrability with an extremely tight turning circle.

Cab & Vervaet Connect

The Q-Series harvesters are fitted with a modern ergonomic cab which provides exceptional visibility. A touch screen computer displays important information and statistics including harvested area and yield mapping (when fitted). The Vervaet Connect telematics system is fitted as standard. Data including machine location, status and settings is presented in real-time through the MyVervaet online portal, and remote diagnostics can also be carried out.
