Don't mean to step on Woomera's toes....
Citation 2 (550 model) with nosewheel spin up.......is a bleed air system that spins the nosewheel up to prevent FOD ingestion with wheel contact on an unsealed strip. Works well - have flown with it many many many times. Something along the lines of wheel spinning faster than groundspeed at touchdown will reduce the upward trojectory of rocks etc therefore not damaging the wing leading edges and not throwinging crap down the engines. Someone might be able to help out if the chimed nosewheel helps??? or if the chime is simply for water deflection away from engine lines on wet runways like DC9??
Short strips are not a problem either - just get into the book and check out the balanced field length and you will be amazed - used to get in and out of some very short stuff in PNG.
If a remember correctly the C550 has antiskid as well.
Just thinking laterally - what about bringing the 4wd to a plane instead of bring the plane to the 4wd.....
