He can, provided his U.S. duties are primarily managerial across the year and the field time is honestly shown as the minority. A manager who is the sole skilled operator in a two-person outfit will not meet the standard, whatever his title says.
Look at the whole year, not the busiest week
The regulation asks whether the employee primarily manages the organization or a department, supervises and controls the work of other supervisory or professional employees or manages an essential function, has authority over hiring and firing, and exercises discretion over day-to-day operations. A custom-harvest operations manager who recruits crews, sets routes, negotiates with growers and controls the equipment budget performs those functions. The problem is proportion.
If the U.S. outfit will have six operators and a lead hand, Kyle's harvest-season cab time can plausibly be a minority of a year that otherwise consists of contracting, scheduling, maintenance planning and staff management. If the outfit has one other operator, the petition describes a working foreman and will be treated as one.
Build the U.S. staffing plan first and write the job description from it, not the other way round, and expect USCIS to compare the two.
