I have nothing to offer, but I want to do the same thing, so please let us know how it works for you. I have a pto pump for my backhoe and it works great in that application, I think it would work for the splitter as well.
Just make sure the pump you select will output the GPM and pressure the splitter needs at whatever tractor RPM you choose to run. You'll need to look at the pump specs or get a knowledgeable sales person to assist. You can always call the pump mfr Tech Service line and ask their assistance.
Check pump direction of rotation compared to your PTO.
You'll probably need to use a shaft adapter to fit onto your particular PTO. Get a snap-lock type for safety.
Before engaging make sure you have a restraint chain from the pump to the tractor lift arm---or somewhere---otherwise the pump will spin and tie the hoses in knots. Engage at zero RPM, let the clutch out slowly, increase RPM to desired. Don't engage at high RPM ever.
Try ag-oriented dept stores like Tractor Supply or Atwoods. Grainger and McMaster-Carr too. Northern Supply via web.
