If you click on the "Tractor Parts" link at the top left of this page and then search your way through you will find some expensive kits to add remote hydraulics to your 861.

There are two ways to do it. There is an accesory plate under the forward edge of your tractor's seat that you remove. Then you have 2 options:
1) Bolt a spool valve directly to the location where you removed the accessory plate. Run hoses from the spool valve to quick couplers that you will want to mount behind the seat. Attach the hose(s) from the cylinder on your implement to the quick couplers.
2) Sandwich an aluminum adapter block between the accessory plate and the tractor. This block has a Pressure and a Return port. Mount your spool valve on your tractor's fender. Run hoses from the Pressure and Return ports to the spool valve. Run hoses from the spool valve to quick couplers mounted behind the seat. Attach the hose(s) from your implement to the quick coupler.

You mentioned that one of your implements has a single acting cylinder (one hose) and the other has a dual acting cylinder (two hoses). You have 2 options once again:
1) Buy a single spool valve that can be converted from single acting to dual acting by installing/removing a plug.
2) Buy a two spool valve with one single acting spool and one dual acting spool.

You also mention toggling between the 3PH and the implement. Some guys choose to go the cheap route and eliminate the purchase and installation of spool valves. They plumb the hose from the cylinder on their implement directly into the tractor's hydraulic system and then tie the lift arms of the 3PH down with chains. When they raise the lever to the right of the seat that would normally raise the 3PH it can't go up because it is chained down so the hydraulic pressure is diverted to the cylinder on their implement. I believe this system will only work with a single acting cylinder.

I have an 861D that has the adapter plate sandwiched in the hydraulic system and spool valves mounted on the fender. I also have a 5000D that has the spool valves mounted under the seat where the accessory plate was.
