I posted this on AgTalk earlier today, thought I'd put it here also.
Learned yesterday afternoon that a man a few miles from me died in a farm equipment related incident. I was told man was thought to be around 70 years of age . He was using a tractor , probably 40'ish hp and no doubt without cab, fell off the tractor and went under the 3 point mounted rotary cutter ( bush hogs around here ) that tractor was pulling . I and guy who told me , both believe man must have had heart attack, stroke or seizure to cause fall from tractor. It would have been merciful for him and his family for him to have been dead before he went off the tractor. Rescue people looked for and picked up body parts.
