Block heater problem

I have a sub compact tractor that has an engine 120 vac block heater the keeps burning out after two to three winter seasons.
I have so far replaced two and now I need a third.
I believe the problem is too much wattage for such a confined space , I've added a timer that only operates for twenty five minutes then off for five then cycles again.
This doesn't work so I'm thinking of dropping the 400 watt heater to 100 watts so my question is what would be the best way to accomplish this?
