There are plenty of threads and posts on that in the archives including just a few days ago. Do a search on heaters. That said, there are circulating ones for the radiator hose and a heater hose if you have one. Block heaters for the block soft plug. Magnetic heaters for the oil pan which are removable. Haven't heard of a drain plug heater except the type in stock tank waterers. Circulating heater can warm it up in an hour and the others take up to 6 hours and still never warm the water and block all over.
Sounds like you need to use your tractor every day in cold weather. 12v conversion may help a little but there are a lot of us who have to jump start the 12v systems in cold weather which doesn't solve your problem.
Best thing for the engine in the long run would be to keep it warm all the time so it doesn't go through the freeze/warmup cycle all the time and worry about oil not properly circulating until it warms up. It will provide some residual heat to the intake manifold and your hydraulic supply as well. If your hydraulics are still too slow you can put a magnetic heater on that supply as well but mine quits whining after a few minutes when it warms up. Let us know what you do.
