Well, I've learned a bit in the past few weeks and have come up with the following plan. I think since this tractor has power steering, and since I'm willing to give that up, it'll be remarkably easy to hook this implement up.
The implement itself needs the following: A hydraulic pressure line, a hydraulic return, and a very unrestricted "case drain" line used by the hydraulic motors on the implement. The previous owner of the implement simply plumbed this "case drain" to the oil fill cap on his reservoir.
Since the implement is "open center", (it always has hydraulic fluid flowing even when the individual functions are off) and since the implement has it's own electronic switches for the hydraulic functions, it would appear I do not need to add the (difficult to source) SCV to my Deere 1050.
The tractor has power steering which I will disable. The power steering had a pressure and a return delivered to the steering valve by a "Flow Divider Block".
I will simply disconnect the power steering hoses from this flow divider block, thread in quick-disconnect fittings to the pressure + return of this flow divider block (where the power steering was previously connected) and attach my implement there.
I'll also conjure up another return for the "case drain" to dump directly into the reservoir via the fill cap.
When the implement is disconnected from the tractor, I'll put a loopback hose in it's place to dump the pressure oil thats coming out of the flow divider block straight back into it's return.
Curious if anyone sees any problems with this plan!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
