Investigation Nr: 170843064

Event: 05/13/1999

Employee killed by rolling tractor

Employee #1, a field mechanic for a vineyard, was repairing a broken PTO-driven 3-point, hitch-mounted, back flail mower attachment on a Ford 7610 4-wheel drive diesel farm tractor. He was standing in front of the left rear wheel, welding the broken support back together, when he reached across to the hydraulic controls on the right and accidentally engaged the transmission. The tractor drive wheel ran over his chest and crushed him. Employee #1 was killed. The auxiliary transmission was not in neutral, and the brakes were not set.
