Thanks to both you and Matt but what do you mean by grass being more
forgiving than a hard surface? I'm no pilot but I think that if one of
your reversers deploys just a touch later than the other, you'd be in
greater trouble on grass. There'd also probably be increased chances of
debris ingestion when reversing. And if you want to kick after touching
down in a crab, you might want a hard surface underneath.

Others here might hold a different view on this.

I removed the reversers years ago.
