What sort of differences? Landing on grass isn't much different than
hard surface unless the grass is very tall, very wet, or hiding mud.

I'd have to disagree with you on this.
It also depends on the soil composition. If it's clay and dry and
hard as
concrete, yes, no difference other then the grass that you describe
above.

If it any other type of soil composition where the weight of the plane
may
sink a little, then soft field take off and landing techniques are in
order
(yoke full aft when on ground and prop is turning).
See my other postings on the technique.

See earlier message of mine on landing on grass, but one should always
know the soil of the intended grass runway and taxi with the yoke full
back.

Even when taxiing back after landing into a 30K headwind?
