What would cause the top of the water bottle to the radiator on a Kubota mule to keep popping off causing the engine to run hot?

The only way for enough pressure to build in the coolant bottle to blow the top off of it is for pressure from the combustion chamber to enter the cooling system through a leaking head gasket or a crack in the cylinder head or a crack in the cylinder wall releasing compressed air fuel mixture into the water jacket. You will notice bubbles in the water bottle soon after starting the engine and you might detect the smell of fuel coming from the bubbles. That would be a dead give away since fuel should never be present in the cooling system under normal conditions.

Why radiator overflow bottle melted?
Bad radiator fluid.
Why did the radiator overflow bottle overflow?
The overflow bottle may overflow if: 1. The car is overheating - this means after the coolant in the radiator gets heated up and expands it flows to the reserve bottle but the radiator doesn't cool down to suck back the coolant from the overflow bottle, but just keeps on sending coolant to the bottle. 2. You may have put excess coolant in the bottle - hence heated coolant from the radiator didn't get enough space.

How do you fix flashing low coolant level on Chevy Venture?
You may have low coolant in the radiator and it is causing the sensor to flash as the coolant raises and lowers. Check the coolant level in the radiator (not the fill bottle) You may have air in the radiator and the air pocket may be causing the light to flash. You would need to bleed the air out. You may have a bad sensor and needs to be replaced. It is located on the passenger side of the radiator below the fill neck (and has a wire going to it)
