During an aerial application flight, the pilot misjudged his altitude and inadvertently collided with a berm thus severing a main landing gear wheel. Thereafter, the pilot landed on the remaining gear. As the airplane slowed to a stop, a wing contacted the ground thus bending an outboard nose rib. The structural deformation was of sufficient severity to have adversely affected the airplane's cruise performance. The pilot was experienced in aerial application flying having amassed over 8,000 hours in the accident model of airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudged and inadequate altitude while maneuvering during an aerial application flight.
