I don't have a backhoe, but my understanding is that they typically connect with three hydraulic lines: 1) inlet (high pressure from FEL power beyond), 2) PB (high pressure out to 3PH), and 3) outlet (low pressure to tank).
The arrangement described here lacks the low pressure return to tank. My sense is that it would be important to know the allowable pressure on the outlet port of the splitter valve (I've read that it might likely be in the 500 PSI range) and then figure out how much pressure might be generated by lifting the splitter with the 3PH.

The powerhorse splitter is rated up to 3000 psi...per thier manual..Hyd lines need to be rated for 3k for both the inlet and outlet....If you have 3000 in you have 3000 out in a loop system....
