During a swath run, while fertilizing trees, the pilot heard a 'loud scream' followed by a total loss of engine power. During the forced landing, while dumping the fertilizer, the airplane's left wing struck a tree. Subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground. A teardown examination of the turboprop engine revealed that the power output reduction gear to the propeller had failed.
Probable Cause: the failure of the power output reduction gear to the propeller. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
