You need to get out more
That was my usual mount for many years, until very recently in fact.
As you probably suspect my current usual mount is rather too heavy for sodden grass during the winter months, and the take-off roll is long enough before factoring for grass. That alone rules out many of the more obvious strips.
This said, mud in the wheelwells, clogged microswitches, poor braking action, multi-engine ban at some grass strips (Barton) and a myriad reasons also come into play somewhere.
If you can satisfy yourself on those counts, then give it a go. It certainly won't hurt!
