There is a reason why NO big manufacturer uses a hydraulic parking brake. In fact they go to quite long lengths not to when it would be far easier. I'm not sure why, but suspect a hydraulic system left engaged for long periods, may stick, or leak. A lot of Chinese "no names" do fit hydraulic parking brakes, but which engineering do you think will be the better "thought out"?

Arctic cat sleds have hydraulic parking brakes.
Will the foot rear brake pedal still function when you go hydraulic?
