My Terrier A61 is almost possible to wheel on as it's so tail heavy. It needs to 3 pointed to land properly. Wheeling it just leaves you bouncing down the runway and weather cocking back and forth. It can be 3 pointed in very sting crosswinds with practice.

I fly a tailwheel twin turbine for a living and that is only ever wheeled on. We use reverse thrust against forward yoke to lower the tail.
