Just for the fun of it, can you lift it up in the air and see if the tires will turn? Once in the air, step on the brake, does that keep them from turning? When you bled them, did it shoot out forcefully when you were holding pressure? If they don't move after you have let off the pedal, try releasing the bleeder screw, sometimes the hoses go bad by swelling shut. Your foot will be able to push past it, but there isn't eno8ugh return pressure to get the fluid out of the wheel cylinder/caliper.

Have you opened the drums and checked to see if they are full of mud?

With the info you provided after my post, the booster going bad makes sense. Feels ok when engine off, doesn't seem right when running. yep, sounds like a failed brake booster.

Maybe? How far did you drive after gettin "stuck"? How bad of a stuck was it? Have you Completely hosed the brakes out and off? I only ask because I know how mine acts after getting wet and muddy, they go to total shit.

I think some of these questions need to be answered before any other ideas are put out.

I think if you sing it a lullaby it will take care of that pesky brake grimlin. LOL. If you want to bring it by my house I can take a look at it for ya. I live in the middle of O.P. Give me a call. My phone number is in the "contact info " thread.
