Lesieg: The others have covered it very well, I presume the M is a narrow front. The key to this, is do everything possible to lower the tractors center of graviety. That nasty old calcium chloride in your rear tires will acomplish this better than any other way. Wheel weights are good. Set the tractor rear wheels minamum of 72" center to center tread. Above all else be careful, we want you asking many more questions. The two items others said that I liked best were, if you are uncomfortable don't do it. The idea of the top of your hood, on the low side being directly over the inside tire print or anticipated print your rear tire is going to make is a good limit. I will not say no to setting narrow front wheels as wide as they can go, however I will warn you that steering wheel will be harder to hold when front wheels strike obstacials. If you are new to tractors one of the very best items you can find is an original Falmall M operators manual with all the funny looking little cartoons, on safety, heed them. One last thing if you are new to tractors, drive it 6 months before you even go to point of hood over wheel track. And keep speed down on slopes.
