A bi-directional drive assembly for a work vehicle has a reaction member fixed with respect to or a part of a drive housing. A driveshaft is rotatable about a drive axis relative to the reaction member in a first rotation direction and alternatively in a second rotation direction. A planetary set is coupled to the drive shaft and configured to rotate an output hub in the first or second rotation direction. A clutch assembly is coupled to the reaction member and includes a first clutch and a second clutch. The first clutch is configured to interface the planetary set with the reaction member to effect a first rotation speed of the output hub in the first rotation direction and alternatively the second rotation direction. The second clutch is configured to interface the planetary set with the reaction member to effect a second rotation speed of the output hub in the first rotation direction and alternatively the second rotation direction. An actuator arrangement is configured to effect movement of the first clutch and the second clutch along the drive axis to selectively engage the planetary set.
