All ATV's will tear up your yard - the 6x6 is just worse than the 4x4 or even a 2x4 - got to really shop around to find an ATV with independent rear wheel drive (true rear differential) not to be confused with independent rear suspension (IRS)
Since its a 6x6, one of the rear axles will need to be skidded sideways while in a corner. That's the nature of 6x6's. As others have stated, turf tires will help. Our yard is chewed up from that that wheel sliding syndrome.. (stock tires) I have adjusted the rear suspension to lesson that and improve steering.
Those machines with TURF MODE have a split final drive similar to a limited slip differential, but when locked drives both wheels together like a live axle and when unlocked, drives one rear wheel while the other freewheels
I would say most of us deal with this at some level. Bit of a nuisance, not really a problem!
