400 turnout for Riley Vervaet field dem’

With the 2010 – 2011 campaign fast coming to a conclusion after worst lifting season for many years, J Riley Beet Harvesters were pleasantly surprised by a turnout of over 400 farmers and contractors for their biannual beet demonstration in North Norfolk. The company showed a 625 Beet Eater (2011 specification) and also a 625 with opal wheels plus a 617 Beet Eater with a 2011 specification.

The new 2011 models will have a new type cab,  new seat, dashboard, new Canbus controls, new display, cab facia, new control system and speeds of turbines to react to forward speed.

Over fifty new and reconditioned Vervaet harvesters were sold for this lifting season in the UK. The Vervaet products are built and produced for all round soil types, not just when the going is easy. The cliché ‘when the going gets tough, the tough gets going’ is true of these products ability to cope with everything from sand to heavy clay soil.

The results of Europe’s major beet event do not lie. The Vervaet 6-25 and 6-17 achieved 1st and 2nd place respectively in the tests as shown.

Riley sold twenty three machines refurbished in our workshops for the season. They pride themselves on the way they turn refurbs out. Jerry Riley says “of course we make mistakes, (who doesn’t?), but I would like to think that our customers are happy with their purchases and that we have done what we promised we would do.

“Buying a high capital product isn’t just the colour of the paint, it’s buying the complete package; product, reliability and knowing that the spares and service back up is there, which in turn gives the purchase confidence we believe we can give this to our customers”.
