i mounted a plow on my Bombardier Outlander 400 and after about an hour she started to get hot. any ideas on how to keep her cool. i know i need to check to radiator and see if it is clean but even if it is a little clogged, i still wouldn't think that it would get that hot in 20 degree weather.

Was this an hour of steady plowing??? If so that may just be normal, plowing is pretty stressful but I would check the normal stuff like the coolant level, Coolant flow, Thermostat if it has one, fan if it has one and so on. Hope this helps.

The reason might be that you are going at a very slow speed with a lot of stress on the engine, or the plow could be blocking air flow to the radiator. Both could also be possible. I don't think there is a fix for that problem unless you install a fan?
