So when you put the tiller into the ground the PTO shaft going from the tractor to the tiller stops turning, or is it just the tiller tines that stop turning?no its not the pto clutch . its something inside the tractor
Something inside is probbaly unhappy then. Looks like that has a hydraulic clutch pack to run the PTO. Those can get spendy in a hurry.

I stand corrected. I looked it up on Tractordata and misread it as having an independent PTO vs a live PTO.Aaron, I can't find anything that shows a PTO clutch/brake on the TC18. It looks to me like it is completely gear driven and the tractor's clutch is the only clutch in the driveline. I suspect the PTO is not being fully engaged and is popping out of gear due to a worn gear or misadjusted engagement lever. If the tractor's clutch was slipping, the tractor would not move either.
