I just assumed the diverter came with the rear hydraulics because mine came that way (thank God), I wouldn't have a clue how to use a 3rd SCV lever
Hmmm, I just noticed that I have the 3rd SCV lever. Thought that was the PTO selector lever but since I have no mid PTO there wouldn't be one of those. Anyway I use two of the rear hydraulics remotes to operate the blower chute (discharge) and control these with the main SCV lever via diverter. 3rd remote is unused so I guess the lever is for that one. Would not be useful for a blower since one needs two hydraulic lines to control the chute. What implements would make use of the third line? And are there implements that would require all three lines? AFAIK a backhoe only uses two...

If you have a Top n' Tilt set up that uses 2 circuits right there. Anything with caster wheels (landscape rake, blade, etc) would be a use for the 3rd. Some blades have hydraulic angling and offset, so there's 2 right there. Some box blades have hydraulic control of there scarifier teeth.
Your 3rd scv port is still useful, it's just not as convenient to move your hand to a separate lever. That's why I'm looking so hard into electrohydraulic systems so almost everything can be controlled from joystick grip mounted rockers. If I had your set up I'd do exactly as you are.
Just out of interest move one of your blowers QD's to the 3rd port to check if it's working.
