Yeah you need a 3rd function solenoid valve with a switch on your loader joystick to best accomplish this.

Per Surplus center:
Q: Can this valve provide power beyond?
A: No, this valve cannot be converted to provide Power Beyond flow.
Wrong valve for this application.

On using a solenoid to control fluids, opening the valve is a no brainer. However, once the fluid starts flowing, you have "Kinetic" energy stored in the moving fluid.....larger the mass, or faster the velocity, higher the energy content.
When you close the solenoid, abruptly stopping the flow, the energy has to go somewhere. In water pipes in your house they call it "Water Hammer" and hammer release devices are installed.....like a vertical piece of plumbing, capped off containing air, at the washing machine service entrance so that when the washer shuts off the fill function the energy of the flowing water is absorbed by the air... yes in that installation the air is eventually absorbed by the water and over time the available cushion is reduced.......but if you are like me, you have to shut off the water for something whereby the tube empties and is ready for another round.

Late to the party, but yea......you need valves capable of power beyond.
Even your "second" valve needs power beyond because they way tractors are typically tapped for hydraulics.....you second valve would truly be the "last" valve in the series.....your 3PH will be.
I know on kubotas, when you add a backhoe....its two hoses. So the backhoe is NOT a power beyond valve. But they caution you to NOT move the 3PH level and leave it down as to not do damage to the backhoe valve.
