You have to be more careful with some types other than with other types! Some have very little clearance from the prop tip and the ground which means you have to be more careful over bumpy fields.

Another Gotcha point is leaving a tarmac runway to cross a grass field at an early untested point. There is often a marked hump on the edge points between grass field and runway.

Better to leave at such points column well back and at 45 degrees rather than head on as well as throttled back rather than powered over suspect areas
But you will get over it! Kind of reinforces the point that the landing isn't over until the engine is shut down
