Sure you can.

If you jack the rear wheels off the ground, put it in reverse, and roll the wheels FORWARD, the PTO will turn backwards!

You can also achieve the same thing by putting it in 1st and rolling the wheels BACKWARD.

Dad did that to unwrap the long hay pen manure that wrapped up on a Knight spreader he was trying out. Pulled the tractor up on the hill, put the PTO in gear, and let it roll backwards down the hill.
