I'm not familar with gators, but I am with traction. I wouldn't alter the 4x portion as sending all the power to only one axle when it is designed to see only half is not good. That said, consider stiffening up or reducing the ability for the axles to articulate---just how not sure. Perhaps using solid rubber jounce bumpers from a car or small truck axle, or the smallish rubber dock bumpers seen on the rear of semi trailers. The walk softly ability could still be left intact if IMHO one or both axles had a differential lock. When my 8,000 lb skid steer got stuck my client tried to use his semi tractor to pull me out. It had no diff locks. It got stuck on a gravel driveway. I ended up using my 4x4 pickup to pull both of us out.
