Cessna TTx and gras strips?

Does anybody here have experience with the Corvalis construction on gras strips?

An american friend is planning to have a nice round Europe trip and we found, that on his route are many interesting smaller gras strips. As he is US, he is not used to short field and was wondering what the limits for a TTx are?

Surely if he is flying a TT he can find it in the performance section of his aircraft manual?

POH statements and reality are sometimes not consistent and that was the reason why the question was for real experience, not synthetic manual knowledge.

Don't know about the Corvalis specifically, but when I went into the backcountry fly-ins up in Idaho some years back, there were always a few Cirrus that came in. With wheel pants. Strip there is pretty smooth, but I've found that most UK grass strips are also pretty smooth as long as they're not too waterbogged.
