Considering moving our IVP from it’s present home at a big city= tarmac ILS airport to the grass field strip just down the road.  Both = fields about 300 ft AMSL
We have 3000 ft of relatively smooth grass with taxiways a little bit rough= er
Been in and out a few times and comfortable with the length, but wondering = who out there has some experience with long term grass operations.
Am I paranoid or is the extra banging and shaking just the gear box and leg= s doing what they are designed to do?
Mainly interested in learning if anyone has experience with increased maint= enance, things coming adrift or general comments about this decision
