Pete you probably don't have enough pressure to do the unsticking. The tractor system only produces 750-800 psi which isn't much.
More pressure is needed and if you don't have another pressure source on a later tractor with a 2000 psi system try the grease gun method. Just go to plumbing supply store and find enough pipe fitting adapters to install a grease zert fitting in the cylinder(or you may find large enough zert to screw in) and pump away with your handy grease gun. I would bet on it working if the seal is still good. Let us know! One more suggestion is heating piston end of cylinder while pressure is applied.
