There are two types of clutches he may be talking about... a torque-limiting slip clutch that will slip if the mower hits an obstruction, rather than tearing up the driveline, or an ORC... (overrunning clutch), installed on the PTO shaft when a tractor WITHOUT live PTO is used to power a rotary cutter.

The ORC prevents the inertia of the spinning blade from driving the tractor (dangerously) forward, after the operator has depressed the clutch on a NON-LIVE PTO tractor.
