Obvious starting point is cooling system issues. As mentioned, the radiator cores on these little diesels can pick up very fine debris (dust, seeds, chaff, etc.), and they want to be cleaned out periodically. I did mine once or twice a year... if you run through unmowed fields frequently you might need to do it more often. I preferred an ordinary garden hose (cold engine of course!), but compressed air works also.
If you still have overheating after sorting out any cooling system issues, there are other possibilities. Is anything binding or slowing the drivetrain? Tires low on air? Brakes dragging?
You mention very steep terrain. I've seen hydrostat tractors have trouble on trails that were so steep the internal line that draws fluid for the hydraulics was drawing air, not hydraulic fluid. Must admit I don't know how steep it would have to be to cause something like that in an RTV. A hydraulic reservoir that is low would trigger such problems sooner, of course.
