Consider using spring return cylinders. That way, when you lose pneumatics, the cylinders will automatically shift into neutral.
We have done the same when we wanted a transmission to shift into neutral. We tried it in 2010, but found we didn't like the drag on the kicker (the kicker had to spin the shaft to unroll our winch line).
