Or what kind of PTO setup do you have and what is connected to the tractor when you experience this problem? The 1/4 travel remaining in the clutch linkage when the engine disconnects sounds fine to me.
Course if you have a synchro tranny and the synchro bushings are worn out that could be it. Their purpose is to keep everything spinning at about the same speed so that the gears will have time to mesh.
If you have a transmission driven PTO (not live nor independent) anything in the gear train out the PTO shaft that continues to rotate will spin the gears in the tranny and make shifting difficult until it all stops moving.
Cutting the throttle to idle and giving the gears time to cease movement helps in shifting also.
As stated having the tractor stationary helps.
