I would come off of the tractor's PTO with a pully/belt system.

This would accomplish two things:
1. ability to set proper band-blade speed.
2. reduce shock loads, nto worried about the tractor PTO, more the band-blade which might be more subject to fatigue and breakage if driven directly.

You would have to stationary mount the blade power assembly, and use a guiderail or roller assembly carraige to move the wood through the blade.
