Abstract
An end drive unit for a work vehicle having a ground-engaging member includes a drive casing configured to mount to the work vehicle. An input shaft is disposed within the drive casing and configured to receive rotational power to drive a planetary set driven having a grounded carrier fixed with respect to the drive casing. A drive hub is mountable to the ground-engaging member of the work vehicle and supported for rotation about a drive axis by the planetary set and a bearing mounted to the grounded carrier. A drive brake arrangement is configured to impede rotation of the planetary set and thereby rotation of the drive hub about the drive axis. A service panel is coupled to the drive casing such that removal of the service panel facilitates access to the drive brake arrangement for service or deactivation of the drive brake arrangement without disassembly of the planetary set.
