The first gear system (86) includes a first sun gear (94), a first ring gear (96) and a plurality of first intermediate gears (98). Each of the first intermediate gears (98) is between and is meshed with the first sun gear (94) and the first ring gear (96). Each of the first intermediate gears (98) is rotatably mounted to the carrier (90). The second gear system (88) includes a second sun gear (104), a second ring gear (106) and a plurality of second intermediate gears (108). Each of the second intermediate gears (108) is between and is meshed with the second sun gear (104) and the second ring gear (106). Each of the second intermediate gears (108) is rotatably mounted to the carrier (90). The idler gear (92) couples the first ring gear (86) to the second ring gear (88).
