What about a baler? Is there enough momentum in the flywheel to do the same thing or do they pretty much stop when the clutch is pressed?

Most balers have a racheting mechanism in the PTO shaft going to the flywheel that will work just like a overrunning clutch. The flywheel will push you even harder than what a mower blade will which is why most if not all balers, (at least all the New Hollands I have seen) have that mechanism. I wouldn't use a coupler on a baler because it basically already has one plus the strain a baler might put on it might make it's existance a short one.

Yes you need an overruning clutch to brushhog with a M. It might even increase your life expedancy.

Yes, It is very dangerous with out. You will not be able to stop until the mower stops, the mower will drive you. It will push you into ditches, low tree branches (tough on the muffler),fawns and into things you don't want to get pushed into. Not to misuse a term but don't ask me how I know. It will work with out but, the investment is worth it.

It only pushes you if you forget to take the tractor out of gear when you push the clutch... Same thing happens on my Cub with the 59" mower. Took me a few sessions to realize what was happening, but once I figured out the mower was driving the transmission, I just take it out of gear when I push the clutch and let the mower coast to a stop.

Sure you can jerk the tractor out of gear, usually, but it is harder on the shift lever and rails. These older tractors get worn in the shifter and rails, and sometime, not often, but sometimes the shifter rides up and goes to neutral without moving the gears. There are several posts in here every few days about how to get one out of gear when it does that. Now just suppose you jerk it out of gear and it doesn"t go right when you are headed for the creek bank, or a 5 wire barbed wire fence. It"s going to hurt. Personally I"ll buy an overrunning clutch for mine.

You're right that it won't push you if your not in gear but it takes a long time for the brush hog to stop spinning which means you will have to wait untill it stops to get the tractor back into gear.
