What are these ports on the loader control valve?

If that's what you want to do then just buy a diverter like those used for grapples. They are only $199 from Surplus Center. You then put the diverter in line with one of the loader functions, usually curl. Switching on the diverter diverts fluid from the curl cylinders to whatever you have connected to the diverter. The loader joystick controls the direction of flow. Simple and very cost effective.

Yes, but Ive also got to worry about pressure.....the control valve I bought also regulates the pressure.

The tractors pump makes about 2500 PSI @ 6.4 gpm and the winch specifies 1500 PSI max.

That kinda changes everything, doesnt it?

Pressure regulation is generally a function of the control valve.
The adjustement is a spring and ball device that is tightened for higher pressure or slackened for lower so you should be able to adjust your pressure down to the 1500psi you want.
When the valve gets to the set pressure remaining fluid will be bypassed back to the tank.
To adjust you would need a guage that would be 'teed' into the pressure line.

Hope this helps.
Good luck.

All done! Well.....less the winch mount, but it seems to work!
