Thanks - unfortunately the bucket is dropped so I can't really get it to budge much on my own. I will see what I can do though. That may be an option.
Engine seized???

Maybe you could get a jack under the bucket to lift it then block the cylinders or they might even hold with the valve.

I don't know how the front of yours is configured to the pump.
I have an industrial backhoe. I have a shaft out the front of engine that goes to my pump which is in the nose of the machine.
ON THAT SHAFT, is a universal joint. I don't know about yours, but in my case, I'd feel comfortable applying some pressure via that joint (with a rod type item) to get some twist on the crank.
I wouldn't put excessive pressure on that but for the sake of moving or adjusting engine position, it might be a contact point that you might be able to use (?)

Jack up the bucket enough that you can get a post or something to lay under it so it will slide easier,
pull the glow plugs out AFTER you blow around them so that dirt doesn't fall in the hole,
put the tranny in the highest gear available and rock the tractor back and forth with the rear tire. Maybe even have someone on the other tire too.
Report back here with your findings.

Ended up having it winched onto a flatbed to my mechanic - I don't have what I need to do the labor on it right now! I'll report back on what they find out.

Another thing you could do is loosen the belts. I've seen alternators that have rusted and will not allow the engine to turn over. If it was sitting for a short period it's not too likely but you never know. You could also remove the hydraulic pump from the front of the engine. They are designed to come off so a belt can be replaced.

Go ahead and force the engine over and bend a piston rod while you're at it. I would never crank one without an air cleaner. It don't take but two weeks for lock up if water gets in.

I’d pull all the glow plugs and try spinning it again with the starter. A breaker bar on the crankshaft would be a better option but the starter isn’t going to hurt anything that’s not already hurt. If that doesn’t work I’d narrow down the possibility’s further by removing the fan/alternator belt and see if if it’ll turn over. If it still doesn’t turn try removing the hydraulic pump. Before you get into all of that are you sure that the battery is good?

I agree with pulling the injectors. I would also recommend a small diameter borescope/camera. Push the borescope through the injector port, and look for anything inside of each cylinder. If the borescope you get has taking pictures ability (there are some that attach to phones available and screen shots should be an option if no other) then post photos on this forum.
If you have not yet, put in the air filter or otherwise block that passage!
