The drive assembly includes a rotatable input drive shaft. The input drive shaft is operatively coupled to the engine. The drive assembly further includes a rotatable output drive shaft. The output drive shaft is operatively coupled to the at least one wheel. A first transmission operatively connects the input and output drive shafts. An overload clutch is operatively disposed between the input drive shaft and the first transmission to transfer a driving force from the input drive shaft to the first transmission. The overload clutch may be at least partially mounted to input drive shaft.
