One limitation of a direct drive box is the difficulty of changing ratios.
It could be 6" wheels with 12.76:1 gearing or maybe 4" wheels with the 8.46:1 gearing option.

If it's 6" wheels, the gearbox options give the options of switching to 13 ft/s or 16 ft/s, at least.

It's too bad Toughboxes aren't setup with a 50:12 initial stage instead of 50:14. Then we'd also have the option of switching the first stage to 50:11 or 48:14 for a bunch more options.
