The pilot stated that he had completed the first agricultural application flight, and had returned for a second flight. He said that prior to takeoff the second time he on-loaded 90 gallons of fuel and about 5,000 lbs of fertilizer. During the takeoff roll on a grass strip the airplane developed normal power, and upon reaching the midfield the pilot said that the airplane seemed to be moving slowly. He further stated that "at the point of no return" he began dumping the load but the airplane still moved slowly, and upon reaching the end of the runway he forced the airplane to fly and flew it "behind the power curve" for about 300 yards, with it never gaining enough airspeed or lift to support flight. He said the airplane then "torque turned" and lost all altitude, impacting trees and incurred damage. Prior to the accident there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems.
Probable Cause: The pilot's decision to continue the takeoff at a low airspeed which resulted in a stall, an uncontrolled descent, and an impact with terrain.
