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.
