What if you want to operate the PTO without running the wheels? I would think you would want to run the PTO while not moving in many more situations than you would want to while rolling.
Studying the CAD, I am fairly certain this is not possible.

I'm not sure if this was intended with the design, but you should be able to find a 3-position cylinder to put on the bottom dog, letting you shift the drivetrain into a neutral gear (with the dog disengaged, between the two dog gears) when you want to engage the PTO.
