IF you can get a small screwdriver and place it here - it should come apart. OR are you trying to remove the entire connector from the sensor? Not sure the latter is possible.
Sometimes GENTLY squeezing with a pair of slip joint pliers helps.
Once you get it off a little dielectric grease will help for next time.

Doing it in a warm environment if possible is best IMHO.
It has been my experience that cold/frozen "plastic" parts are much more prone to "accidental breakage" when prying or squeezing.

If you do break it you should be able to replace just the plastic connector. If Kubota doesn't sell them separate that looks just like the coolant temp sensor on a bunch of Japanese cars.
The slot above the '22'(close to brass) is probably where the wire side connector 'locks in'. Either a small flat blade screwdriver or a dental pick to press the tab of the wire connector in, then gently pull on the wire.
