DURING FLT, THE ENG LOST POWER & THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO GET A RESTART. WHILE MAKING A FORCED LANDING IN A PLOWED FIELD, THE MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED & THE ACFT NOSED OVER. LATER, AFTER THE ACFT WAS UPRIGHTED, THE ENG WAS STARTED & WAS OPERATED TO 1300 RPM. PROP DAMAGE PREVENTED OPERATING IT AT A HIGHER RPM.
