THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A TREE DURING AERIAL APPLICATION OPERATIONS. THE PILOT STATED THAT THERE WAS A POWERLINE AT ONE END OF THE ORCHARD HE WAS SPRAYING AND A ROW OF LEAFLESS TREES AT THE OTHER. ONE OF THE TALLER BOUNDARY TREES WAS OVERLOOKED BY THE PILOT AND THE ACFT HIT IT. THE COLLISION PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE OIL COOLER AND FORCED THE PILOT TO MAKE AN OFF AIRPORT LANDING.
