I am going to give you a quick response as I am about to leave for an appointment. I will think and add more laterDave my apologies I have just checked and there are in fact 7 hoses attached to the fel control which appears to be a 'Dakon' on the control there is a T and a P which looks like they go to the Tank and Pump respectively (which is logical)theres also a pipe which starts off as a flexible pipe then becomes a steel? one that I think goes to 'power' the 3ph. There is also a 'plug' in the bottom of the unit so I don't know what that is for or could be for

Clearly the FEL valve does have power beyond feature which is feeding the 3 pt hitch.
The solution would be to buy another control valve, one or two spool, with a power beyond feature to control one of two rear remote double acting circuits.
The existing power beyond line going to the 3 pt would be re-directed to the new valve as its IN port.
The power beyond of this new valve would resume powering the 3 pt hitch.
The new valve must have a tank or return port connected to the reservoir. It could just be a tee into the FEL valve return line.
The plug in the bottom, a guess at this point, could be where the power beyond sleeve is added so of no concern now.
For the new valve, you should do a little thinking before ordering one as there may be features you would want to have included.... for example, a float position to allow the implement to move up and down with no hydraulic restriction, a detend which would only require a movement of the lever for it to finish its cycle and then shut off.
The float feature is found on new loader valves. The boom down or load arm down lever is pushed far forward and left there. Now, although the bucket remains where it is, the arms came move up and down as you back up leveling material like ground or gravel.
Your could also use your existing FEL valve for the rear remotes and get a new one for the FEL.
