This may be overstating the case, or have been suggested already by the writers who say there must be an overrunning clutch or live PTO. I've spent a lot of time with PTO stuff on 30s and 40s tractors without live PTO. If the machine is "pushing" the tractor, it is very difficult to get the pressure off the tractor gears long enough to knock the gear lever into neutral, unless 1) you quickly push down the clutch, and thereby risk completely bogging up the machine 2) blip the throttle somewhat toward a slower speed, with the same risk as with pushing in the clutch. I used to use an F-20 with a PTO-driven combine, and got pretty good at a VERY quick throttle blip combined with my right foot kicking the gear lever forward to neutral when the combine showed signs of bogging down. The H gear lever can't be kicked out of gear because of where it is. It is sure true that a PTO-driven machine with a lot of internal momentum can drive the tractor forward, sometimes in dangerous places (like the end of the field with a fencerow facing you!). If there's pressure on the gears, it's almost impossible to shift into neutral. My 2-cents worth, devalued by inflation to next-to-nothing.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
