The issue here is how bad is it stuck. People are expressing different oninions because they have had different experiences.

Everyone speaks from experience, but maybe not a lot of experience. I've had tractor get stuck from just sitting, no water in the cylinders, and it is pretty easy to free them up. I've freed them up pulling them around the pasture, or just putting ATF in the cylinders and I've had otheres that required pounding the pistons out.

History on why it is stuck guides you to where to start.

The suggestion to pull glow plugs or injectors first is reasonable.

If you get it freed up without pulling the head, whether it will start is the next issue on whether the head still needs to be pulled. If you pull the head and pull the pistons and everything looks fine except for a little gum on the cylinder walls you might wish you'd tried something else first.

I always assume the simplest problem possible is what is wrong. I am usually right. For instance, when I have a flat, I assume it is the valve core before breaking down the tire.

It may even be stuck from a cylinder full of diesel on the compression stroke.
