Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a Massey Ferguson 165 diesel tractor with an attached mower. He backed up the tractor to place the mower between two trees by a fence and mow the weeds in that area. One of the two trees had been knocked over about two weeks before and was still attached to the trunk. Employee #1 was unable to stop and wedged the tractor under the fallen tree, which crushed Employee #1 against the tractor's steering wheel and killed him. The tractor's left brake was inoperable and the right brake was barely operable. The tractor had had inadequate to no maintenance.
