    If its a kubota motor, you should be able to find which heater, and where, on Kat's website. Kat is a heater manufacturer. I have gone to using a coleman tent heater, and just slide it under the motor, for about 30-40 minutes. Don't have to install, permanently, don't use no electric, runs on camping fuel, and generally can be found for $5-10 bucks at yard sales, auctions, or on craigs list...

    Magnetic heaters usually go on the bottom of the oil pan. Good luck on a skidsteer, anywhere you can get it on the engine will help, but they do better on a flat spot, and the bottom of the pan is usually the only flat spot. Any water heater is more effective than a magnetic heater. You don't even need two hoses if you get the slope right, the water will flow down and back in the same hose at a 45 from horizontal/vertical.
