A work vehicle includes an actuator, a metering element, and a powertrain configured to transmit power from the actuator to the metering element to drive the metering element in rotation about a first axis to meter a commodity at a predetermined rate. The powertrain includes an actuator output member supported for rotation about a second axis. The powertrain includes a metering input member that is fixed for rotation with the metering element about the first axis. The actuator output member is engaged with the metering input member for power transmission from the actuator output member to the metering input member. The first axis is transverse to the second axis.
