Aircraft
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.
BE36 pilot reported being unable to lower the landing gear using either the normal or manual gear extension procedures. They elected to land gear up on a grass runway.
