Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was attempting to use a tractor to move a cotton module. The module is normally pulled onto a trailer by a track with "teeth" that catch the module and move it along; it is then moved by tractor to the suction area. Employee #1 could not get the track to engage, so he shut off the tractor engine and went under the trailer and onto the track to repair the drive line. A coworker saw the tractor and trailer with the module behind it and thought it was ready to run. The coworker got into the tractor seat and turned the key to start the engine, which suddenly engaged the track. It moved, crushing Employee #1. He was killed.
