El Carmen: A village in Chile and the new Kleine self-propelled harvester
It seemed like a fiesta when the Kleine SF
10 arrived at the contemplative village El
Carmen, situated 60 km from Chillán. Many
children were running after the machine on
the street, the older inhabitants of the village
were admiring it at the roadside. They
had never seen such a “huge yellow thing”
for beet harvesting in El Carmen. So far,
tractor-drawn one row harvesters formed
the image on the beet fields of the municipality
until Mr. Hernan Martinez decided to
bring a good second-hand SF 10 and LS 18

This year, Don Santa has altogether
160,000 tons of sugar beets that will be
loaded by his new Kleine Mouse. The sugar
factory Iansa is in Cocharcas, 15 km from
Chillán.
Right away at the next day, the driver training
starts. The Kleine Mouse is supposed
to be used in two shifts. Three employees
have been chosen for a training as “Mouse
drivers”. Prompt, the drivers enjoy handling
the new machine until our service department
manager Thomas Flörke moves up the
from Europe to Chile.
At his company “Statione Matilde”, Martinez
has to lift 450 hectares of beets. After
an examination and verification of all the
functions by Franz Kleine service department
manager Thomas Flörke (photograph
on the right), the machine was immediately
brought into operation on the field. The
next investment for the harvest in 2012 is
already planned: A RL 200 SF for loading
the beets from the clamp. (hn)
From the 27th of April until the 1st of Mai,
the “Salon International de l’agriculture
au Maroc” (SIAM) took place for the sixth
time in Meknès, Morocco. More than 600
exhibitors from 20 countries including all

three employees becomes scared of the
height and asks Don Santa to release him
from this task. The two other drivers Pedro
and Miguel can handle the Mouse better
and better by the day, so that the day of our
departure from Chillán, there are already
60 trucks working with trailers.
With a friendly “Adios” we say goodbye to
Don Santa, Don Elid, Pedro and Miguel and
to a hospitable country with a crazy geography.
