Lets look at some numbers first. To pump 18gpm@2250psi you are going to need about 26hp. Your tractor is rated at 22hp, so your already under powered for what your trying to do. Now unless you already own the pto pump, you can expect to pay $500+ for a PTO pump, assuming you can even find one that will produce 18gpm in that price range. If you decide to use something other than a standard pto pump, your pto only runs 540rpms. Pump flow is determined by the pump displacement and the rpms it turns. At 540 rpms, its going to take a very big pump to give you the 18gpm you are looking for. Then you also have the issue of coupling the pump to your pto shaft. Once you have found the pump, then you are going to need a oil tank. Recommended tank size is usually one gallon capacity for every gallon of flow, so a 18gal tank. And dont forget the return and possibly suction oil filters. What I am trying to suggest is that by the time you assemble all the parts to build your splitter, its going to be expensive. Now if you have the parts just laying around, by all means use them, but if you are going to have to buy everything new, it might make more sense to just buy a stand alone wood splitter with its own power supply.
Hooking a hyd cyl to your tractors hyd system is also another option. The loader valve can have quick connect fittings added so you can unhook the bucket lines and snap on the splitter lines, easily and cheaply. If your loader valve has Power beyond, thats even better. Your splitter speed will be limited to the oil flow available from the tractor, but it will work.
