An arrangement includes a drive-side transmission with an output shaft of the transmission, which extends along an axis. A work machine with a drive shaft is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the output shaft. To improve stability and to save space, the transmission on the work machine, by the connection between the output shaft and the drive shaft and a torque arm, is supported to the extent of at least 90% of the forces arising during operation. The connection of the output shaft and the drive shaft is configured to be flexurally stiff to support transverse forces. The axial end of the drive shaft is embodied as a hollow shaft. The axial end of the output shaft has a stub which is disposed at least partially in the hollow shaft of the drive shaft.
