I've installed several over the years but they are extremely exspensive. If fact, today you can probably buy a diesel-fired block heater for the same cost. And, since you've already got diesel fuel in the tractor, no extra fuel tank is needed.
Remember when air-cooled Volkswagens had gasoline powered heaters? Same companies that made them also make diesel versions. Used for engine block heaters and larger versions to heat cabs in trucks. Espar is one and Westabo (or something like that) is the other. They are becoming more mainstream now due to engine-idling laws for big-rigs.
I've got a diesel-fired heater in my diesel mini-motorhome and love it. Last I heard, Ford now offers it as a cold-weather option in their diesel pickups.
By the way, a cheap 120 VAC tank heater and a small 1000 watt powered electric generator is a good alternative. I use that setup often for tractors parked away from electricity.
