Hi! I really enjoyed watching this video series on building a 6x4! I've gotten a lot of good ideas from it! I'm thinking maybe the problem with getting "hung up" on uneven ground where one tire on each side spins in the air because of the rigid frame could be alleviated by running a chain on each side between the front and rear axles. You'd still have the differential action without having to weld up the diffs with that setup. The problem might be that the wheels might have to be spaced out further to make room for the chains, which may not be desirable. Cheers!
I've enjoyed watching these videos hopefully I'll build one this summer it be helpfully in New Hampshire's winters thanks
Thanks. I bet a setup like this would work well for plowing snow.

Thank you. Chaining the axles together might be a good solution. If you build it, let me know how it turns out. Cheers
