Description

Defendants, husband and wife, own and operate a farm of over 3,000 acres in Cerro Gordo county. J.E. Risden was the farm manager, with general supervision of the work. Plaintiff, a farm hand then 21 or 22, commenced working for defendants about March 1, 1940. On March 25, 1940, a circular saw was attached, by means of a belt, to an Oliver farm tractor, for the purpose of sawing wood. Gilbertson and Reindl, two other employees, were engaged in the sawing. Risden, the manager, directed plaintiff to assist them and to report to Gilbertson, who would tell him what to do. Plaintiff went to Gilbertson, who directed him to bring the wood from the pile to the saw. Reindl had put the tractor and saw in place for the work, set the belt, started the power, and adjusted the speed of the tractor engine and saw. This was all done and Gilbertson and Reindl had started sawing when plaintiff arrived. After two and one half to three hours they stopped sawing and Gilbertson said that would be all. It is plaintiff's claim and he testified that Gilbertson then directed him to shut off the power on the tractor; that the other two men started filling the trailer with wood; that plaintiff walked around to the back of the tractor, shut off the power, and as he was pulling his hand back his mitten caught in the power take-off shaft, which was still revolving very fast, injuring his right hand and arm.
