Propeller shaft broke?

Well it got me again. Took the ranger out this weekend and was in 4wd and noticed only the rear tires were spinning. Upon further inspection I saw the prop shaft spinning at the transmission but not at the front diff. I dropped the skid plate thinking somehow the shaft pulled apart and it actually broke. It is all shiny so all new break. Only have a couple hundred miles at most on a stock 19 Ranger Crew. Anyone else had an issue with this?

They just replaced the transmission from a turf mode going out on me and went back with the new version. Could it be caused or linked to any of that? It broke just in front of the weld, the sold bar. My hypothesis is when the rear diff went out and only the front wheels were pulling it over stressed the driveshaft. But still should not have just shear off. I've seen some bend on a rzr but not a low power stock ranger. Hopefully a fluke deal with bad steel or something.
