No Problems; our aircraft was built for this
I have a 2500' grass strip in Indiana, and I completely agree with Herb. The approach & departure corridor are more important to me. I have an open field to the north and powerlines on the south, so I depart north & land south. Inadvertently (read not paying close attention) I departed with 4 adults & full fuel and used 1900 ft to get airborne. I routinely turn around mid-field after landing with medium brake application.
In my opinion there is no better twin for a grass strip. High wing to get you over crops, nice spring gear, and that famous centerline thrust. The only damage I've ever had to the back prop was due to (I think) losing a dzus fastener from the rear cowling. Oh, and I had to wipe off soybean residue from the gear legs when I misjudged a 180 degree turn once...fortunately the lower side of my airplane is green so no one else noticed...
