I have the same problem in my W300 when I use the plow. The alternator just won't charge enough at the rpms you are running at when plowing. Consider installing a second battery, in parallel with the other one. Pos. to pos. and neg. to neg. connections. Use heavy wire, same size as the battery cables have now. You can also help the system by connecting a trickle charger to your battery after you are through plowing.
