When plowing, after a while when the vehicle is very hot, it will stall. It will not restart, but cranks very well. If I go inside and let it cool down for about 20 minutes, it will start right up again. If I use it too much again, it will stall again and I must repeat the "let it cool down" process for a restart. Any ideas?

If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned to identify what trouble codes are stored. Also, check fuel pressure to make sure it is within spec. Finally, when it doesn't start, check to make sure there is spark and fuel to the engine so you know what you are dealing with.
