I would fill tires to the 12 o'clock position (3/4 full). On a reasonable slope, extra weight far out on the uphill rear wheel helps.

Another thing that helps on slopes is good tire tread. It's no fun when a tractor's the front or rear end starts sliding down hill out of control. To me, 45 degree rear tread tires seem to hold better on side slopes than 23 degree tread, especially when pulling hard. Tri-rib front tires also hold on side slopes better than shallow tread floatation tires or turf tires.

When turning up hill on a steep slope, be careful and slow down. In a jam, I try to turn downhill, or slowly back out to get off too steep a slope.
