Default Jet for grass field operation

I am looking for a turbine powered aircraft to operate from a grass field which is not a cricket pitch, but is not too rough either. I do have some experiences of a turbine having owned an early simjet which I flew in an aircraft from tarmac. Can anyone recommend an airframe which is robust enough for the undercarriage to withstand grass field operation and in the same vein it would clearly have to be something with a slow approach speed again to lessen landing shocks. I am considering the Composite ARF Eurosport, any thoughts and any other suggestions appreciated?

Thanks and Best Wishes

Joe.
