The amount of oil in the pan is not necessarily related to oil pressure. If there was no oil in the pan, naturally there would be no pressure, but if the oil pump pick up tube is immersed in oil, you WILL have oil pressure. You checked the oil level, and faound it was down 3 or 4 quarts, which means you still had 4 or 5 quarts in the pan, which is enough to immerse the pump, so naturally you still had pressure. But, before you ask, no, it is not OK to operate the tractor with only half enough oil in it.
