Reverse. Mostly it unsticks when you reverse a few meters. Or else pry it up on the lever on the rear axle.

Do you know if it's a common problem I'm just looking in the workshop book nOw
Thanks
Thanks
you should be able to see the adjuster at the back. on the axle . some had two nuts there either 19mm or 22mm tip that back gently towards front of tractor . you could back of adjuster a bit. not to much or the cylinders will pop out . which i have done .. the cylinders could be a bit rough inside . no big deal to replace and cheap. try bleeding them and putting some fresh fluid in them first.. sure see how you get on

Thanks for the quick replies!
I found the two 19mm adjusting nuts and wound them out so the locking but was flush with the end of the thread, then bang, the brakes came off! I'd say there's a touch of rust in there somewhere from lack of use, as it had been sitting for about 2 or more years in a shed
Will look into new brake linings for it, was quite daunting coming up to a roundabout pumping on the brakes and nothing happening, good thing it has a handbrake!
