I can't help with the loader right now (limited access) but you can search machinefinder.com for your tractor and see what loaders are on other ones for sale. Used loaders are very difficult to find unless they are really trashed. You might consider an aftermarket one.

Your machine will have no problem powering that splitter.

Quite a few choices. You did not say if you have MFWD or 2WD. Some loaders are only for 2WD (they will not clear the larger MFWD front tires) 510, 512, 520, 521, 522, 540, 541,542,553. You should also be aware none of these are current models, (except the 553) so you will be finding either used or NOS (new old stock) unsold stock, and the mounting frames are model specific, and since they fit more than one model, you have to be sure it has the correct mounting frames for your tractor. Your best bet would be contact a dealer and see what he recommends.

One final thought, if you have MFWD I would look for a new 553 loader (make sure it will fit your tractor model) since it will not cost much more than the price of the other models used.
