Grass Strips

Getting a new job in the spring - commuting would mean landing on a 2000' grass strip in my P337H - ugh. Last time for me was in a 172. Very doable in a 337 but I don't know if I want to do that to my aircraft at least not on a regular basis. I've heard of the Skymaster technique of using rear engine power to maintain elevator authority at very low speeds etc. but I am still worried re retractable gear abuse. Any comments from those who utilize grass strips re gear issues/rear prop damage issues?
