I agree with JimME, but I think Bruce has a good idea. If it were mine I would just for double checking sake do this. I see a tree across the way that would work to hang come along (if you do not have one pick one up at Harbor Freight or a home improvement store) with some chains to hold up the loader up. Once you get that done take the pin out of the top of the cylinder. Then tip it down so the oil gets up on the top of the cylinder where the ram pistons are. Then reconnect it do the same with the other. Then let the weight back on them and even add whatever you have that is heavy and leave room for yourself to get in the bucket and help persuade it the lower again. Also as Bruce suggested crack the fittings loose just in case there is an hydraulic problem you eliminate that. Hold the hose over a bucket wrap your put your wrenches in place then wrap them with rags to contain the fluid if it is under pressure. If you get them to retract raise it with the hydraulics again. If this works only lower it a couple inches. This is just to help limber it up so you can pull it out to take the cylinder apart. You are going to have to take them apart to fix the real problem in the cylinders.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
