At 9:30 a.m. on June 18, 2021, an employee was working for a hay farm. He was op erating a John Deere model 4040 farm tractor. It was pulling a New Holland model 1037 pull-type stacker wagon. He was using the farm equipment to stack bales of hay on farm land. For some reason, he got down from the tractor and climbed up onto the lowered hydraulic gate of the New Holland stacker wagon.
