Narrative:
On approach the aircraft was slowed to 140 knots and the gear lever was put in the down position to prepare for the landing phase of the flight. Within seconds; the pilot observed neither the in-transit nor the gear down lights were lit and the gear breaker had been blown. The autopilot was engaged for a straight and level flight at a safe altitude and an attempt was made to reset the breaker which immediately popped again. At which point; the pilot reviewed and performed the emergency procedures as prescribed in the poh for manual gear extension. After approximately one hour of in flight attempts to manually extend the gear; the pilot made the decision to land the plane in a gear up configuration on the grass runway.
