I run a Brady flail chopper behind a Super M to do general mowing and level the sweetcorn stalks in the garden when the good eating is done. I'd suggest two things: (1) If you don't have an extension on the drawbar, get one, as it may give you enough clearnce to put in the overrunning clutch. These things are made out of heavy plate, and are about 1' long. If you have a swinging drawbar, you may be able to lock it at the midpoint of the regular drawbar and use it.
(2) I don't have an over-running clutch, but I don't have to mow up to any fence corners either! I know it's not considered good form, and probably puts some wear into the pto shifter, but I've frequently been guilty of shoving the throttle hard forward, then depressing the clutch as I push the pto rod down quickly to dis-engage the pto while moving. Takes a little practice to sequence the three moves right, but it works without pushing the tractor forward, and hasn't torn the thing up yet in 25 years of doing it! With a little practice, you can dis-engage the pto when there is no load on the shaft. Overall, probably not as hard on the machinery (or nerves) as trying to stop the mower with the brakes!
