You are right, it would be a 2:1 ratio. And for the most part you wouldn't want to gear the drill motors up. I am guessing that you were in low gear last year and you used about 8" drive wheels? if you did this you would travel at about 6 feet per sec. (if i did the math right). If you are in low gear the speed of the output shaft is about 400 rpm. If you are in high gear the speed of the output shaft would be about 1200 rpm. I hope this helps answer your question.
