West Bloomfield: Suddenly, August 7, 2009 at age 62. Survived by his wife--------------------------------------Sadly, another tractor fatality in our local area approx. seven miles south of my home.  The gentleman was working with a Massey Ferguson and a bush hog. For whatever reason the tractor wheels came too close to the bank of a small stream that passes through the property allowing the tractor wheels to drop , rolling the tractor.  The operator was later found in the stream, pinned under the tractor by a family member. I could speculate the stream bank may have been soft and gave way due to our large amounts of rain lately, but that is only speculation.

I know most of us are aware of these tragedies and may not need reminding, but I simply want to say "be careful" one more time.

Thanks for looking.
