I also have redesigned our gearbox several times this Fall. Even designed and built a dual motor Dewalt gearbox. Not that we are planning on using it this year but now we have a proven design that can be pulled and built. (I was going to say 'on the shelf' but then I realized what a mess that could start )

Eveyone should take John's quote to heart. I always advocate building and testing. The Dewalt gave us some trouble early, this would have been a disaster during build season, but now it is working fine.
