Investigation Summary
Two employees were attempting to remove a 8,500 lb farm tractor from an irrigation ditch. They were using a 1 1/4 in. nylon rope to pull out the tractor. When the tractor was almost out of the ditch, the rope snapped, causing the tractor to flip over backward and pin Employee #1 against the ditch bank. He suffered fatal crushing injuries to his chest and abdomen. The tractor was manufactured in 1963 or 1964 and was not equipped with ROPS. The tow rope was not strong enough for the job and was overstressed, which caused it to break.
