This is apparently normal for float planes that don't have any water to take off from and lacking retractable wheels. You can apparently land float planes on grass strips if need be, but you have to use the dolly to get airborne.

Speaking about retractable float plane wheels, it is typically a bad idea to leave them down when trying to land back on water as can be seen in this video -
