Patent attributes
A track work vehicle includes an axle input shaft defining a first axis of rotation, and a differential gear case having at least one planetary gear set. The track work vehicle includes a track drive system contained, at least in part, in the differential gear case. The track drive system includes a first gear coupled to the axle input shaft and a second gear coupled to the first gear. The track drive system includes a bevel gear assembly coupled to the second gear and a bevel gear set coupled to the planetary gear set. The track work vehicle includes at least one drive axle coupled to the planetary gear set and a drive wheel for driving a continuous ground-engaging track. The drive axle has a second axis of rotation that is vertically offset from the first axis of rotation and substantially coaxial with a centerline of the drive wheel.
