I have a lake thats the distance described above that I want to use my tractor to water my property with. Maybe run three large sprinklers or even a couple of small ones,

To be honest, all pumps are different and can push water at different pressures. Look around for a good quality one and ask the retailer for some info. Most PTO mounted water pumps can reach that height so I wouldn’t be worried.
Good Luck

To get any serious volume of water you will need a big pipe.
The problem lies with the 100′ of height that it needs to be pumped. With water weighting (I believe) just under 8 lbs per gallon, you will need alot of horsepower to move it.
Try google searching waterpump requirements, there may be a chart that shows the size of pipe, run length, and horsepower needed.
