Front mounted agricultural work vehicle power takeoff system

A drive system for an agricultural vehicle comprising:

• a first gearbox configured to be driven by an engine coupled to a first driven input of the first gearbox;
• a drive shaft coupled to a first driving output of the first gearbox, and configured to be driven by the first gearbox;
• a second gearbox, the drive shaft coupled to a second driven input of the second gearbox, and configured to drive the second gearbox;
• and
• a front power takeoff device configured to extend from a front portion of the agricultural work vehicle, to be driven by a second driving output of the second gearbox, and to drive an attachment coupled to the front power takeoff device;
• wherein the first gearbox provides a first vertical shift between the first driven input and the first driving output, and the second gearbox provides a second vertical shift between the second driven input and the second driving output.

A drive system for an agricultural work vehicle comprising:

• a drive shaft drivingly coupled to an engine output shaft of an engine via a first gearbox, the first gearbox configured to be driven by the engine, and to transfer rotational energy to the drive shaft;
• and
• a front power takeoff device configured to extend from a front portion of the agricultural work vehicle, the front power takeoff device drivingly coupled to the drive shaft via a second gearbox configured to be driven by the drive shaft, and to transfer rotational energy to the front power takeoff device;
• wherein the first gearbox provides a first vertical shift between the engine output shaft and the drive shaft, and the second gearbox provides a second vertical shift between the drive shaft and the front power takeoff device.
