Narrative:
THE AIRPLANE WAS FULLY LOADED WITH CHEMICAL WHEN THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OFF FROM THE 2,500 FOOT DIRT STRIP. HE STATED THAT THE AIRPLANE FAILED TO CLIMB AND STRUCK A THREE FOOT HIGH LEVEE AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY, DAMAGING ALL THREE LANDING GEAR. AFTER FLYING AROUND THE LOCAL AREA FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO BURN OFF FUEL, THE PILOT EXECUTED A NO GEAR LANDING BACK AT THE AIRSTRIP. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE SOUNDED NORMAL AND APPEARED TO BE DEVELOPING FULL POWER DURING THE TAKEOFF. THE LENGTH OF THE STRIP DID NOT ALLOW FOR AN REJECTED TAKEOFF.
