I understand that the four seperate transmission setup would give you a slight increase in pushing power, but using a wheel or tread with a lower coefficient of friction would just hurt you in pushing matches. You would be more likely to just spin your wheels without gaining any traction, therefore loosing any pushing power you gained through this setup. Based on the weight, pushing, and turning factors I would personally go with a 6 wheel drive setup. But this all really depends on what resources your team has to work with.
