Once we establish that the bogie you are referring to is not either the front or rear most of the lot, here goes..
Though it would never be recommended, running with one of the middle bogies missing from the evener arm can be done with low probability of major damage. I have seen a bogie set on the BR400 that actually flipped over with the cat still running. Just watch for sudden transitions like ditches or logs and go slow and straight as possible. The risk is apparent in your environment, as a broken down immovable cat means you will be stranded out in the woods, not just a short ways from your local ski area vehicle maintenance shop. Maybe some sort of cobbed up retainer to keep the evener arm from going too far would also help. Best of luck and welcome to the community!
