I hate to be a downer, but "iffy" conditions/terrain is no place to learn to operate a tractor, it is just too easy to get hurt and/or damage equipment.
If you decide to go ahead, walk the area first and go slow, very slow. As to dropping the FEL if it starts to slip, in theory it can help, but you may not have time. Do a search of threads put up by NEBRASKASPARKS on slopes/rollover/safety and do some reading on reaction times and such.
I have been operating tractors for a lot of years and always take time to acclimate myself to a new tractor/implements before working up to more challenging tasks.
Good luck.
