Lower tire pressure. Maybe chains?

They push on turns,its' just the nature of the beast.They don't have a lot of body-roll/weight-transfer on turns,so the front just slides,it will do the same on loose dirt,gravel or slick mud.Playing with tire-pressure helps,but they still push some.Narrower tires are better for turning,but wide ones float better.Hope this helps.

thats exactly right, "push" even as slow as you can go,might have to do skis, I saw a thread on here where the guy did skis on front and worked good, looked like a lot of work though

We did skis on a gokart years ago.Get skis from an older sled with leaf springs on them and the bracket that attaches to the spindle.We made a adapter that bolted to that and slid onto the cart spindle in place of the hub. Or you could bolt it to the cart hub wheel studs.
