Abstract: Employee #1 was sitting in the cab of a John Deere #404 cotton picker during the 10 to 15 minute warm-up period. He heard a strange noise that sounded as if it were coming from the heads of the picker. Employee #1 thought that there was something caught in the heads. He climbed down from the cab and went to the front of the machine. As he leaned against the unit, trying to see if there was anything in the heads, the cuff of his right sleeve caught in the heads and pulled his arm into the rotating machinery. His right little finger was amputated.
