Unable to unscrew stock hydraulic hose coupler

Hi,
I'm attempting to put a 90 degree elbow on a hydraulic hose for quick hitch angle cylinder and the threads will not let go. I've used all the force I can expect the fitting to handle and the threads do not budge. Should I try heat or is there something that can be used for the thread compound?

(I'm 100% sure I'm loosening not tightening)

This a new hose with no hydraulic fluid in it, I'm trying to disconnect the hose from the coupler and it appears john deere used a little too much thread compound.

I had a similar problem removing some fittings on my 332. Your'e not going to break it. Just get your wrench on there and if you can strike the wrench with a hammer a couple hits sometimes the shock will break loose the thread compound allowing you to loosen the fitting much easier. If not put some a double s into it!!!:thThumbsU
