Unfortunately its not a straightforward part to swap (Tractor flashers are different to car ones) so it seems I'll have to stick a resistor in the circuit somewhere to raise the load to keep the flasher happy.

The companies that market these LED replacements often have the right ally clad resistor(s) to keep the flasher unit happy. It measures the load current internally across a low value resistor to determine if a bulb has failed.
