The task of spraying a cotton crop was nearing completion. The time for a scheduled radio call was approaching, and on checking his watch the pilot found a need to alter its setting. He also checked the amount of spray liquid remaining in the hopper. As a result of these distractions, he momentarily relaxed his vigilance in regard to a powerline obstruction located at the end of the spray run. As he approached the powerline he took action to gain altitude, but the main landing gear struck the wires causing the aircraft to land heavily in an adjacent paddock.
