Loose deep sand is tough, It needs lots of power and a light front end that will just kinda float along the top instead of digging in and slowing your momentum.
Sounds like your gearing is already set up prety good, what size/type tires are ya running?

What does it suck at in the sand? Steering? Traction/grip?
Yerfdogs with those turfsaver tires(V shaped treads) suck at loose ground. You'll need knobby tires.
Throw an 11hp+ on it and never have a problem again.
I've got knobby 18"s and an 11hp with a 40 series converter and it hasn't met something it can't handle.

Kartless....
Mud tires might help if its a traction issue.
Yeah, those turf savers suck, they're meant to glide over grass to prevent damage, hence the name turf savers.
Mud tires would be best, turf savers over sand is like driving on ice.
