trailer hitch stuck in receiver

None of the trees around my yard look that sturdy, with my luck I would pull the tree down on top of the truck .
Torch and sledge hammer sounds like the solution
My only other option is my neighbor who has a new Silverado 2500, If I hook a 50' chain between my trailer hitch and his front bumper and got a good running start would that do it?

If so, you only need to move it a fraction to break the hold.
Use a eight pound sledge hammer and drive it straight back toward the truck.
If you drive it too far and it wedges into the curve of the drawbar, the back of the receiver is open, if you drop the spare you will have swing room from underneath. Use a piece of pipe and a big hammer.
