Claim 2:
3. A drive assembly for a work vehicle comprising:
a drive housing including at least one housing element forming a reaction member;
a drive shaft rotatable about a drive axis relative to the reaction member;
a planetary gear set coupled to the drive shaft and configured to selectively rotate an output element, the planetary gear set comprising an input component, an output component and a reaction component;
one or more input clutch arrangements configured to selectively interact with the planetary gear set to effect a rotation speed of the output element;
one or more input actuators configured to effect movement of the one or more input clutch arrangements along the drive axis to selectively interact with the planetary gear set;
a control clutch arrangement interfaced with the reaction member and the reaction component, wherein the control clutch arrangement is configured to couple the reaction member to the reaction component and is configured to alternatively decouple the reaction member from the reaction component to damp a torque transmitted to the output element, wherein the control clutch arrangement comprises:
a plurality of clutch disks rotationally fixed to the reaction member or the reaction component; and
a plurality of friction disks rotationally fixed to the other of the reaction member or the reaction component,
wherein the plurality of clutch disks and the plurality of friction disks are engaged to rotationally fix the reaction component to the reaction member and are disengaged to allow for rotation of the reaction component relative to the reaction member; and

one or more control actuators configured to effect movement of the control clutch arrangement to selectively couple or decouple the reaction member and the reaction component.
