14 overheating while plowing?

I bought a 2014 new and it only has around 400 miles on it. Mainly use it for plowing and for deer hunting. Has never really been trail ridden, have had zero issues. Last couple days we have gotten a lot of snow and after about 45 min of plowing the temp light comes on and goes into limp mode? At those times it was hard to tell if fan was running or not. Does the fan quit running if battery gets low? i know when plowing and running the winch the stator doesn't charge very well at low rpm. i limped it into the garage and checked fuses and such and relay for fan. I started it and cooling fan was not running until i reved the engine up, fan would kick on and then kick off at idle? Only thing i can suspect is a low battery (below or at 10 volts)? Advice?

Question – Track DPS on Outlander xtp 2018

Had a 2016 Outlander xt, last year I bought BRP track 360 for the ATV. This year bought a new 2018 Outlander xtp, just put the tracks on the ATV last week and went for first ride today. On the 2016 I was able to switch between TRACK MIN MED MAX DPS. On the 2018 XTP when it starts up says TRACKS and there is a star on the digital display. I have tried to change the setting to MIN MED or MAX. It will not change. The DPS seems to be in MAX mode very easy to steer even with tracks on. My question is did they get rid of the settings in track mode?

Plow Angle Kit

Has anyone tried mounting a Hydraulic Plow Blade Angle System Item # 2879635 to an older ATV? Mainly a 2005 700 EFI?

Radiator protection

Just came across this metal peg board, for mud/stick protection, could drill random larger holes for air flow. Anyone try something like it??

Sportsman 800 mods

Anyone done any intake or fuel mods to an 800? Seems to be all I have found is they run rich from factory, was thinking a lil more airflow might help, anyone dabbled in this before? I know most every exhaust for them sounds like crap so was thinking airflow options.

Electrical System Question

SO last night was the first time I got to plow at night with my '18 570. Aside from my starting issues I posted in another thread, I noticed something with the brightness of the headlights. I am use to the headlights dimming when you add a strain to the electrical system, such as using the winch. Or the lights getting a tad brighter when you are at a higher RPM vs. at idle..., That's what I expected...

But my lights would go from bright to not so bright or visa versa at odd times. (I don't want to say dim because they never seemed dim, just less bright and more bright) This would happen at various times. Sometimes while plowing at higher RPM in a straight line. So the RPM's were about held at 4000 during the time when they would go from not so bright to bright. Then they would go from bright to not so bright on the next pass, while still at higher RPM. Even sitting idle talking to my neighbor, we both noticed them go from not so bright to bright..

is this normal? Sign of something going in my electrical system? Regulator? Could it be related to the starting issues?

On a side note, when I do use my winch (up and down) the dash lights go out for a second... Is this normal? I just replaced my battery with a brand new AGM battery as well hoping it would help.

Thanks
