THE PLT SAID HE WAS SPREADING FERTILIZER ON TREES WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENG & THE HELICOPTER YAWED LEFT. AT THAT TIME, THE HELICOPTER'S ALT & SPEED WERE ABOUT 100 FT & 40 KTS. COLLECTIVE WAS RAISED TO CLEAR TREE TOPS & REACH A CLEARING. BEFORE TOUCHDOWN, ROTOR ENERGY WAS EXPENDED, & SUBSEQUENTLY, THE HELICOPTER LANDED HARD & WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. THE PLT SENT THE ENG TO A REPAIR FACILITY, BUT THE REASON FOR THE MALFUNCTION WAS NOT VERIFIED.
