We have a new(used) backhoe without a block htr, a necessity here in WY. The driver's side(L) has 4 freeze plugs but has a steel hydraulic line right in front. The R side is pretty inaccessible. The L side will probably work by gently retracting the lines a little if there is clearance for the htr. Does it matter which freeze plug is used? The forward one is the most accessible.
Where How to mount block heater on 2010 L45

I cannot say for certain for your model but must recent Kubotas have a threaded hex plug where the heater goes rather than in a frost plug as you are thinking.
The plug is typically 17 mm and needs a hex tool to remove it. It is often hard to get out.
See this link to understand the style and perhaps buy one.
The installation instructions include this: "Standard mounting position for Kubota Tractor engines is in the Right front threaded plug hole."Threads are 3/4" NPT
