I thought the more common case was when you hit the clutch to "stop" the tractors forward movement, but because the heavy rotional momentum behind you (could be brushhog, or bailer with flywheel etc) that would continue to spin the
PTO and drive the transmission pushing you forward/backward based on what gear you were still in.
