Okay, let's take a step back here and ask, what do you mean "Doesn't have the power to run the wood splitter?"
What happens when you try to run the wood splitter? Nothing?
I think I can see why. You have the hydraulics hooked up wrong. You are trying to "TEE" off of the pressure to run the wood splitter, and that won't work on a simple open center hydraulic system like that.
What is happening is that when you pull the lever for the wood splitter, all the oil is going through the loader valve instead. The loader works because the wood splitter is disconnected at that point, and the supply hose to the wood splitter is blocked off so the oil can't flow through the splitter's valve.
The tractor has plenty of hydraulic power to run a wood splitter. It won't be fast but it will be faster than a Farmall Cub, and people run wood splitters with Farmall Cubs and are happy with them.

The draft forces are
