The motor holds five quarts. Nowadays, yes, those are level checks. A lot of folks treat them like the full and add marks on a dipstick. As long as you get oil out the lower one when you just crack it open you've got enough. If not, close the lower, open the upper and fill until you get a drip from the upper, indicating that it's full.

Originally, back when these tractors worked regular and sometimes hard for a living, the Owner's Manual (you need to get one) recommended a regular draining to the level of the lower cock and then refilling to the upper, even between changes. It was expected that there'd be some washdown of fuel, especially with the distillate engines, which would dilute the crankcase oil, and this was their way around that.
