Ice build up on radiator mahindra 3616

When I got done blowing snow, I started to clean off the tractor, lifted the hood and I noticed that I have a large build up of ice on the radiator, and it's thick, covers the battery also, can't even pull the screen out, it's build up on both sides, but it's not over heating. Anyone else have this happen? I removed the air filter just out of curiosity, and it was coated with ice also.

Maybe point the chute a different direction?

Can you clip/fasten pre screen?
have you try setting chute 45 dress +- little?

If you had the ability to reverse the fan, the ice build-up would occur at the induction point(s) someplace else.

I seen where sections of tarps/canvas are used on the front of grills; they allow enough airflow while effectively blocking most of the ice/debris buildups, yet they are removable to allow cleaning/shaking off the ice or other debris during the regular maintenance halts.
