An employee was spreading compost via a mobile compost spreader attached to his tractor. During the operation the spreader developed a clog. The employee stopped the tractor leaving the engine running, and dismounted. The drive chain assembly of the mobile compost spreader was fully engaged.

The sleeve of his long sleeve shirt became caught in the drive chain assembly and pulled his hand and arm into the rotating mechanism. The employee was hospitalized with an amputation.
