Dear Mark,
I dont know spit about tractors except for small ones, but I do know something about water cooled internal combustion engines. I am rather amazed at most of the comments I read. Antifreeze in your oil is kind of like blood in your urine. It just aint no good. and radiator stop leak clogs your radiator as well as your leaks the last time I heard. Oil pressure is always supposed to be higher than your water pressure, thats why you look for froth in your radiator to check for a blown head gasket. Anti-freeze will pit your bearings. Is your oil pressure OK? Have you put your cooling system under pressure when the motor is not running and see if it holds steady? Go about it systematically, use logic don't panic.
