Being a tractor, it does not depend on movement to keep the engine cool.
It will have a fan of some kind, be it flywheel fins or belt driven. As long as that is working it will move plenty of air to keep it cool. The thing you have to watch is the air flow being blocked with grass or in your case blowing fines from the chipper. Oil leaks are also a problem with air cooled engines. Any oil leak will cause dirt to stick and pack, blocking air flow. A regular part of maintenance should be opening up the shrouding to clean any obstructions.
As for an oil gauge, yes it needs a gauge. But in your application, chances are no one will be sitting there watching it! Might look into a safety switch to kill the engine or horn to alert the operator. Remember if you install a safety switch, it needs an override to get it started without having to crank until it gets pressure.
One thing about air cooled, they do not run consistent temps as liquid cooled do. Synthetic oil handles this best. Also an idling down without a load for a few minutes is a good idea when shutting down. It helps prevent temp spiking at shut down.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
