You can follow a load chart for the size of the tire, and I thought it was common that with what those specify, you'll end up with fluid up to 10am-2pm area or 11 and 1 if using a clock face to orientate yourself. I've filled my own per the chart and the level is somewhere around there, tire pressure for mine is about 14 psi.

If you really think you are at any risk given the terrain, I would highly advise to install a seat with a belt and a roll over protective structure, there is no way I would rely on the tractors center of gravity, ballasted with loaded tires and or additional weight if the terrain was steep enough or conditions you will work in are at the threshold of beyond what the tractor is designed for, meaning slope.

Additionally, if its that much of a concern, find a way to get an LCG model, Ford made a bunch of those, 2110, 4110, early thousand series, '01 series, not sure if they made them earlier, those are well suited for slopes, and though the general purpose '00' series are very tolerant of slope, (I've run both an early 4000 and my current 850 on hills and slopes for many years with no problems), it don't take much, one mistake, something unknown or unforseen, seat and R.O.P.S, (and you must have and use a belt) is certainly the best insurance you can have to protect you from getting pinned.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
