Good brakes would be my first priority. Without good brakes it doesn't matter how wide you set the wheels or how much fluid you put in them. Sooner or later you're going for a ride, and sooner or later, you'er going over.
These guys have all given you good advice on how much fluid, but it seems like you're going to the absolute extreme here.
Somewhere between the extremes of "do nothing" and "set it as wide as it goes and weigh 'er down to the max" lies a point of diminishing returns, where wider and heavier don't appreciably increase safety, but do appreciably reduce the utility of the tractor.
If you've got a loader bucket, or a back blade, or a moldboard plow, setting the tractor out wide will prevent implements like those from functioning efficiently. Also, fitting through doors, fence gates, and between trees can be adversely affected.
The fluid won't ever hurt anything from a safety and utility standpoint. Maybe start out wide and narrow it up as you get comfortable with the terrain and realize that the width is not necessarily.
