Analysis
The pilot reported that the engine lost power as he was pulling up from a swath run. He pumped the throttle several times, the engine regained power momentarily, then quit. The pilot dumped his load and made a forced landing in a muddy field. As the plane was slowing during the landing roll, the main gear sank into the mud and the aircraft nosed over.
