Eric, the one you have should be quite adequate. 20 gpm @ 540 rpm, 
unless your splitter has an enormous ram :). The one you are considering 
gives 23 gpm @ 1000 rpm, probably  less at 540 rpm. IMHO the way forward 
is to get an adaptor from the site Randall suggests.

It might also be worth while checking with Prince that the specs on the 
NT website are correct, to get 1000 rpm from a 6 spline pto tractor you 
would need to run at max rpm, and then some.
