I would use a magnetic block heater as opposed to freeze plug style.
Did you try a kubota dealer?

My DK35 came with an in-line heater in the cooling hose to/from rad. Not the most efficient but better than none.

We have hit -40F the past few winters, a magnetic is not going to work. I'd rahter not cut into the rad hose, might have to look into the engine model to find one, or find one that may work.

eBay shows a Kubota heater that screws in a 1" port. Do you have a 1" plug that screws in? Lookup "Kubota Diesel Compact Tractor Block Heater".
Also, look at Hotstart block and oil pan heaters sold through Cat dealers: http://www.hotstart.com/assets/PDF/Catalog-pages/lube-oil-heaters-26-27.pdf
