Then your gearing is probably too high and you are tripping the 40a breakers.
Skid steer turning, especially on carpet, requires quite a lot of power.
More power might mean two motors per side rather than one.
What type of drivetrain?
How many motors per side?
What type of gearing?
What kind of wheels/treads/belts?
Pneumatic tires are the worst for turning on carpet...
