Was using tractor moving dirt for an hour with no problems. While moving slowly, tractor stopped moving but engine stayed running. Went back 30 min later and tractor moved 30 feet and stopped again. After stopping second time, checked hydraulic fluid and added very little and it looked fine. 40 minutes later, cranked again and would only move in reverse. Went about 200 feet in reverse before it stopped again. This time when when I tried to go forward, it sounded like metal grinding. Left it over night. Cranked it up today and started moving again. Went forward about 100 ft and it stopped. Backed up 150 ft and it stopped. Now it is sitting. Whatcha think? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Help-B21 just stopped-breaks locked up??

Something is broken! 
Seriously it's not sounding good, I'm thinking about the only way to know what's wrong is to jump into it and start looking for broken parts.
Kick it out of 4wd and see if that does anything for you.
If it moves in 2wd then it's most likely in the front end, that will help limit it down.
Another option is drain the hydraulic fluid and see if there is metal in the fluid or on the magnet.
Where was the grinding noise?
How were the brakes before this?

Good, most of the time front is cheaper than the back to fix, now jack up /lift the front tires off the ground with the loader and check to see if it's one side or the other or both.
