Hope someone has done this before, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel! 
Problem: How to connect an E60 fixed arm backhoe (https://www.skidsteersolutions.com/e60-skid-steer-fixed-backhoe-eterra/) to my Lx565 skid steer that has "on/off" auxillary hydraulics? The E60 has one double-acting cylinder that needs to be feathered both ways FROM ONE of the skid steer's 2 wheels' directional arms (preferably the left handgrip because the right handgrip tilts inward to turn aux. hydraulics on/off, i.e., this skid steer turns like a typical zero turn lawn mower, and one MUST have hands on BOTH handgrips at all times to move it)? What add-on control valve would you recommend? I'm thinking some type of thumb-operated electrical (i.e., remote) control valve must be available somewhere??
