US Patent 12092203 Planetary gear assembly with reversible PTO shaft

A planetary gear assembly including an input sun gear; a first plurality of planetary gears driven by the input sun gear; a planet carrier coupled with the first plurality of planetary gears; and an output sun gear wherein rotation of the input sun gear drivingly rotates the planet carrier at a first rotational speed and the output sun gear at a different second rotational speed. An output shaft fixed to the planet carrier and the output sun gear are simultaneously rotated about a common longitudinal axis at the different speeds by rotation of the input sun gear. The output sun gear is accessible through a longitudinal passage in the output shaft. A PTO shaft is drivingly couplable with the output sun gear by inserting a first end of the PTO shaft into longitudinally extending passage or with the planet carrier by inserting the second end of the PTO shaft.
