Torque required at a given horsepower decreases as speed increases which is why the industry has multiple PTO speed options. The 1000RPM pto drivelines can be light to handle the same load.
I would think if Westfield is brave enough to build an auger that big with a 540rpm driveline they must have thought it through and built it heavy enough.
I'm sure someone will show you a 540 RPM implement that tore up a tractor PTO but I've not personally heard of it. Outside of augers and tub grinders, not a lot of stationary implements that will pull a lot of HP out of a tractor, most share the tractor's HP with the drivetrain and never ask that much power out of the PTO.
I found this in a search of NAT:

Within it I found the attached comment that I found interesting.
Westfield says in dry wheat the 13-94 will take between 145 and 165 HP. I assume that changed based on the angle of the auger.
I wonder if 17% corn pulls easier or harder than dry wheat?

How beefy is the 540 PTO on a 7230R?
