It is believed the 84-year-old was using a scraper attachment to clear cow manure from a concrete dairy path when the tractor's rear wheels have slipped into a slurry pond and he became pinned between the tractor's steering wheel and a steel beam at the pond's edge.
He was found unresponsive about 5pm.
The death is the 40th confirmed workplace fatality for 2025. There were 41 work-related deaths at the same time last year.
