If your driveline clutch is disengaged (or the transmission is in neutral) explain to me how a still-rotating implement PTO shaft can drive the tractor wheels. Now if you said "hit the brakes to stop the tractors forward movement"......

It is as I said; a typical ORC permits the implement PTO shaft to turn faster than the tractor PTO output shaft. Period.

I do however, heartily agree with the hardened roll pin sugggestion.
