A steerable drive axle for a tracked work vehicle may generally include an axle body extending lengthwise between first and second ends and an axle support assembly pivotally coupled to one of the first end or the second end of the axle body. The axle support assembly may include an inboard support member configured to extend at least partially along an inboard side of a drive wheel of the tracked work vehicle, an outboard support member configured to extend at least partially along an outboard side of the drive wheel, and a non-rotating planetary carrier extending lengthwise between an inboard end and an outboard end. The inboard end may be coupled to the inboard support member and the outboard end may be coupled to the outboard support member. Additionally, the non-rotating planetary carrier may be configured to support a plurality of planetary gears between the inboard and outboard ends.
