At approximately 4:30 pm. on April 30, 2008, Employee #1, of J and J Spreading, was operating a Caterpillar 4.5 cubic yd articulated wheel loader, (Model Number 960 F, Serial Number AF82A-51230) to load manure onto spreading trucks. Employee #1 was driving in reverse alongside the unguarded edge of an approximately 50 ft wide, 400 ft long, and 10 ft deep manure and wastewater pit.
