9 gals at 1500 psi is not adequate unless (1) you like wasting time or (2) make slabbing cuts on your "rounds". I wouldn't recommennd anything less than a four inch diameter cylinder powered with a 20 gals per minute @ 2500 psi pump. Even that will have problems with something like elm.

You need to use your PTO. The best small tractor powered systems use a Prince PTO slide on pump. Yeah, they are expensive new but you might find one at an auction or on eBay. I got my pump and reservoir for $110 at an auction.

You will need a valve - $70

a double acting dump truck hoist cylinder - $100

a wide flange 6-8" W-beam (not I-beam) - $125

and misc small peices of steel plate.
