Hi ! The rear wheel on my Bobcat 743 got stuck serveral of times when I was moving snow this weekend. The tempature outside reached -15 degC and the machine worked well for about 2 hours before the right rear wheel got stuch at the first time. I stopped the machine for a couple of minutes but started it up again and tried to run it forward and backward a couple of times. After a number of attemts the wheel could start to rotate for half to a number of revs before it got stucked again. And so on..... Does anyone have a clue why this problem occure ? Thanks in advance !
Why is the rear wheel getting stuck on my Bobcat 743 ?

Do you think it´s complete busted ?! The wheel turn fw/bw but get stuck at different times. /John
I'm thinking damaged chain or sprocket.
Stop using the machine! Or even trying to move it for trouble-shooting. There is little doubt that the chain is bad now, if you keep trying to turn things the sprocket is sure to go too. Maybe you will be lucky and it is only the chain. There is another recent/current thread here about chain/sprocket R&R, take a peek for some tips.

Jack up the machine = all four wheels off the ground. Try to rotate each wheel. Compare the other three wheels to the one that keeps locking up. If it proves to be a drive chain, open up the chain case & take a few pictures for us. Pull out any broken chains & try to rotate the trouble wheel again. It should no longer lock up. Replace broken chain. Clean out, reseal & top off chain case. Take a ton of pictures!
