The problem with the rear brakes locking up may be the self adjusting screws themselves. They should only tighten when reversing the car and hitting the brakes, putting the pressure on the drums in back instead of the rotors in front.
If you have drum brakes make sure they are adjusted properly. Adjust so they are just locked and then back off adjuster 5 notches. If you have disc brakes, make sure that caliper slides are not frozen
First make that service brakes are adjusted properly Adjuster should either be at the junction of the cables under vehicle or at the handle (may have to remove trim for access) itself Set brake to 3 clicks and tighten adjuster nut so wheels are locked at this point
Are you talking about seized brakes? As in the wheels no longer turn because the brakes are stuck? or.......?

Sing the song, you know Fix up locked brakes on Suzuki king quad 4 wheeler!

Check the pistons inside the calipers, usually they are the reason brakes lock up.
get your toner ring checked out.
Yes. Otherwise if the backbrakes locked abs would be useless.
Take you foot off the brakes. This may restore some traction so you can steer or apply the brakes more gently.
Depending on your transmission, assuming it is a gear drive and not hyrdo, the brakes could be locked on the unit, or it could be hung in gear, are you able to change gears using the gear shift ???
None of the landing wheels would not be locked in any sense of the word other than at the gate when the brakes are fully applied.
