Just get it on flat ground and park a tractor over the bow. Then use a jack to press most of the bow out.

You can also use wood blocks under the high spots on the opposite side of the bow and drive up on it with a tractor tire to straighten it.

I've straightened two railroad rails that a hired hand bent by dragging up a bunch of wet soil in the middle of. It really was a lot easier than I expected.

In fact, depending on how heavy your tractor is, you may have to really watch over-correcting. I was using a 4840 JD with a pretty good rack of weights on the front end on the railroad iron.
