Claim 5:
6. An agricultural vehicle, comprising:
an engine; and
a transmission arrangement, comprising:
an input gearbox including a first input shaft and a second input shaft, the input gearbox including a planetary transmission, the first input shaft connected to the engine, and the first input shaft and the second input shaft arranged coaxially;
a base gearbox connected to an output side of the input gearbox in a direction of a power flow towards a wheel axle of the vehicle;
a first electric machine for rotatably driving a drive shaft at rotational speed, the drive shaft being drive-connected to the second input shaft of the input gearbox via a first pair of mating gears in a first fixed transmission ratio, the first pair of mating gears being separate from the base gearbox;
a second electric machine drive-connected to the first input shaft via a second pair of mating gears in a second fixed transmission ratio, the first electric machine and the second electric machine electrically connected via an inverter, the second pair of mating gears being separate from the base gearbox;
a locking device being transferable into a locking position for arresting a rotation of the second input shaft; and
a spring biasing the locking device towards the locking position;
wherein, when there is a malfunction in at least one of the first electric machine, the second electric machine, and the inverter, the locking device is transferred into the locking position via the spring thereby arresting the rotation of the second input shaft and producing a single fixed transmission ratio of the input gearbox to operate the transmission arrangement in an emergency drive mode.
