Yes - a piece of piss! Spent a couple of years flying a PA28-140 out of a 550m (on a good day) grass strip in SE Belgium.
Only problem I found with the 140 versus the 150/160 Warriors and 180 Cherokee was that with full fuel it's basically a 2-seater. Also if you cut power too soon on base / final it can drop like a stone on full flap. Otherwise a nice old machine with no real vices.
(On short-field take off - it helped to bring in the required 2 stages of flap just before rotation.)
