The usual advise of not "over greasing bearings" refers to bearings run at high speeds. The friction of the grease in the bearing can cause it to over heat. In a tractor wheel bearing that wouldn't apply as they never run that fast. What is the more usual recommendation for any similar bearing assembly is to fill the hub with grease up to the level of the bearings. This keeps the bearings from throwing their grease out into the hub and provides a large reservoir of grease with a good supply of oil in it to leach out into the bearing over time. It also leaves space for any excess grease in the bearing to flow out away from the bearing.
