Purpose built pumps for log splitters are two stage pumps. This give you the best of both worlds, high GPM for cycle rate, and high pressure for more "PUSH". A typical pump might offer a first stage at 16 GPM and 650 PSI, with a second stage of 3 GPM and 2500 PSI. The pump switches modes based on back pressure.
PTO pumps are single stage and limited to 2200 PSI or there abouts. They will give you a better cycle rate than an internal tractor pump at 3 to 5 GPM, but the "PUSH" won't be any better.
With a big enough cylinder on the splitter, you can make the compromise work. Use the high GPM of a PTO pump to cycle the big cylinder quickly, and the large diameter of the cyllinder to make enough force to split the tough stuff.
