Harry: My brother has a splitter he runs with Farmall 230 and PTO mounted pump. Splitter is a trailer that used to have it's own engine. He had to change pumps to get a pump with enough gpm at the slower PTO speed. I understand he can split wood at roughly half throttle, and the 230 has enough power to cut cross grain on an 8" maple. His old pump was volume for crankshaft speed of the old engine. I expect close to 2,000 rpm.
I don't think your 200 or even a 454 will have enough gpm to give good splitter speed. Talk with a hydraulic shop about gpm you should have. I've seen an 1840 Deere that had to be full throttle, not for splitter power but for speed. That burns a lot of fuel.
