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.

Sorry, it's probably okay but your drawing is just a wee bit too busy and confusing. Please redraw it as only with backhoe disconnected. And your yellow lines get somewhat lost on the colored paper ...

Much better, thanks.

Is the left-hand column (of connections) on your second loader valve connected to the top link cylinder?

A diverter valve will typically have 3 or 6 connections; you are showing only 4. But if you hook up the two ports (such as A1 and B1, or A2 and B2) on the second loader valve to the two inlet ports of the diverter valve and then hook up ports A1 and B1 of the diverter valve to the side link cylinder and ports A2 and B2 of the diverter valve to your quick connects for the dump trailer everything should work as you want.
