During an aerial spraying operation, the aircraft suffered a loss of engine power during a pull-up manoeuvre over a scrub line. The pilot turned left 100 degrees to reach the most suitable cleared area. He dumped the load to fly clear of a fence, but the angle of approach into the clearing was headed towards another fence line running in the same direction as the intended landing direction. This required a shallow right turn which was still being completed at touchdown, which resulted in the right wing spray boom becoming entangled in the crop. The aircraft ground-looped and the main landing gear collapsed.
