How much rough field experience do you have? Rough field is about prop
clearance but it is also about gear strength and low stall speeds.

Don't confuse the issue.
Rough field operations is a prop clearance issue.
That's why the outfitters and bush pilots use taildraggers.
Mooney's aren't the smartest airplanes to operate off of grass strips
unless you know for certain they have no dips or holes.
