I always engage/disengage any PTO driven implement at the lowest rpm possible whether it's a snow blower, mower or rotary cutter. Engaging rpm is probably more critical than disengaging rpm due to the inertia of whatever is being rotated but it's just simple to go low for both.

Yes start it at idle and ramp up, remember there is a large shock load when the mower or any PTO implement starts so low and slow to start then ramp up to WOT and enjoy also get a good set of ear muffs after a couple hours your ears will be ringing,, and if you are like me you cant afford to lose any more hearing
