Welcome aboard. Couldn't find that model but Brand makes some great valves. The only requirement is that it has "power beyond" and the proper fitting to make that work (i.e., not blocked).

Yep has power beyond
You can either tap into (not tee into) the yellow line from the GC's loader valve to the backhoe (the line from the GC's loader valve going to "pressure in" and the "power beyond" going to the backhoe) OR tap into the blue line coming from the backhoe to the GC's 3-point control valve (the line from the backhoe going to "pressure in" and the "power beyond" going to the GC's 3-point valve) AND also add a line from "return" or "tank" on the new valve teeing into an existing return to tank line.
