From experience with an H and a 5 or 6 foot Bush Hog (I don't remember how wide). Marginal power, low gear all the way in heavy stuff. Later used a Super M with same cutter. No sweat. Agree with the overrunning clutch idea. It IS possible to get the tractor out of gear by blipping the throttle shut and making a quick move with your hand, but you gotta be quick or the pressure on the gears (from the mower) can make that very hard to do, and you could damage the tractor gears as they are forced out of engagement (I suppose). Used a PTO-driven combine for years this way. Trouble is, if you're trying to get out of gear when the machine is already bogged down (combine) or overloaded (mower), it's pretty hard to get the tractor out of gear with all that pressure coming from the PTO. Go with the overrunning clutch. I certainly wouldn't do today some of the stuff I did back in the 40s and 50s when I thought "we can't afford that."
