Gearbox Placment

[Cothron Theiss]

In a 6-wheel or 8-wheel center dropped drivetrain, the dropped wheels are theoretically always touching the ground. Direct driving those wheels from the gearbox means that, even in case of a chain or belt failure, you're still getting power to wheels on the ground.
