Tractors are provided with 540 and 1000 rpm pto to match the speed of the implement. Mfr's went to 1000 rpm because the 540 cannot transmit as much hp (torque) as the 1000. A 540 shaft built to transmit 150 hp would be too heavy for you to lift to connect to the pto. Regarding the diff lock- use it to prevent getting stuck! Two wheels locked together will get you through more mud than a single wheel. Yes, when locking the rear wheels together, you lose turning ability. The tractor will tend to go straight ahead. But you are not hurting anything by using it constantly while going straight ahead. If I am doing tillage work in wet ground, I run the diff lock at all times, and it snaps off when I hit the brakes to make a turn.
