What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft ran off end of runway on takeoff. (-23) pilot took off west bound from a private grass strip, ag cat was loaded with full fertilizer and 1/2 tank of fuel. Pilot stated aircraft ran up alright, but couldn't climb. Aircraft continued on and went through a hedge row, ground looped, came to rest 90 degrees from direction of intended flight. Damage to propeller, lower wings, landing gear, rear, fuselage. Post-accident engine inspection revealed four low compression cylinders, thus not developing full rated horsepower to lift aircraft for flight.
