Using a "smart plug" type device for remotely turning on a block heater has become a very popular and common thing lately for all vehicles, not just tractors. Lots of people use them now for exactly what you have in mind. And not just remotely located equipment. It's a major quality of life improvement even if it's just parked outside the house. The quality of life improvement increases proportionate with the depth of snow, and inversely proportionate to the temperature.
