Investigation Summary
Employee #1, the foreman of a 116-acre almond orchard and ten turkey houses, was working near the tractor shed, preparing to attach a scraper behind the tractor. He was behind the tractor trying to remove the belly hitch and bar when he instructed a coworker to start the tractor to warm up the engine. The three-point hook-up behind the tractor moved upward, catching Employee #1's left hand between the bar and belly hitch. He sustained a crushed bone at the base of his ring finger.
