Context: Agricultural accidents are a prominent cause of mortality and morbidity in the literature despite few studies. The machines and equipments used in this sector frequently cause agricultural accidents. One of these, the hoeing machine, can cause tragic and severe injuries. Issue: We present a case of subtotal leg amputation that occurred after a hoeing machine accident in 2015 in Malatya, eastern Turkey. We monitored the patient and started initial therapies according to advanced trauma life support in the emergency service. However, his right leg was severely injured and had to be amputated. Lessons learned: Hoeing machine accidents lead to physical disabilities due to extreme injury and amputation.
