A powertrain for a work vehicle includes an engine and a transmission. The transmission includes a continuously variable power source (CVP), and a variator that is operably connected to the engine and the CVP. The variator includes a first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set. A range shaft has a range shaft output gear secured thereto and an output shaft has an output shaft gear driven by the range shaft output gear. A first mode selector clutch has a first input component enmeshed with an output gear of the first planetary gear set and a first output component connected to the range shaft and a second mode selector clutch has a second input component enmeshed with an output gear of the second planetary gear set and a second output component connected to the range shaft input gear. The first mode selector clutch and the second mode selector clutch are selectively operable to couple the first input component with the first output component or the second input component with the second output component and thereby transfer power from the variator to the output shaft.
