I think you're right. So I just went out and bought a generic pto shaft. And if I can get it cut to exactly zero inches I think it will work very well. Problem is that I keep shortening it by half over and over again but I just can't get it down to zero!

Amazing! That is exactly what I pictured when thinking of this mythical device. But this one is real. Thanks for the link. I had no idea such a beast existed.
I can't imagine that adding PTO power to a disk helps in any real way though. Could be wrong, but that that thing looks like exactly what I described initially: more technology, more complicated, more expensive but no better.
Seems like it would have more of an effect if the disks were notched.

Be careful. I've cut three of them down to zero so far and now I can't find any of them.

You probably put them next to your cordless extension cord.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!
Before you do any cutting double check that measurement. It's METRIC! Should be 0mm, not 0".
Hope I saved you a ton of grief...

OK, for a while there I was confused about how to properly cut the shaft to length, but the photos of the completed product resolved the matter Good work
Good work
