Machinery importer J Riley Beet Harvesters will hold its biennial working demonstration this month in Norfolk.
The popular event is widely regarded as unmissable for those involved in sugar beet harvesting and the wider industry, as well as being an enjoyable day out with a now legendary hog roast.
The latest Vervaet beet harvester range will be at work – including turbine and rollerbed versions of the Q-Series, which remains the UK’s best-selling harvester; the six-wheel Beet Eater 625; and the Riley Beet Chaser conversion.
The Vervaet Quad 550 self-propelled slurry applicator will also be shown.
The Riley business is well known for its refurbished harvesters, completing a large number to a very high standard each season. Visitors to the 2026 demo will be able to see a 2003 Vervaet 17-T harvester which has undergone the full Riley treatment.
Refurbished harvesters are supplied with a warranty, giving the customer peace of mind, and parts are held in stock for Vervaet harvesters of all ages, meaning that a customer purchasing a 25-year-old machine can rely on Rileys for backup.
In this way the company offers something to suit every scenario, from a farm lifting its own fodder beet through to the largest sugar beet harvesting contractor running multiple new harvesters.
The event take place on Wednesday 28 January 2026 between 10am and 4pm at Barton Bendish, Kings Lynn, Norfolk PE33 9DL. The What3Words address for the site is: ///towel.weeks.hotdog
