the tires should be filled to a weight that still alows some "tire slip" so the tractor is not "geared to the ground". "Geared to the ground" is a condition where, in dry soil, a clear print of the tire is left behind in the wheel tracks. here should be a bit of slip evident n the tracks under these conditions,i.e. the track should be a little "indistinct". I saw pictures of the conditions I'm describing in a John Deere training manual.
Having said this, for the use that you are putting on the tractor, I would just even the tire fill in the empty tire to that of the tire tht is filled. No need to put anymore strain on the drive line than is necessary. Adding more fluid will raise the center of gravity for the tractor which is destabilizing. My two cents.
