What are you doing that requires the front end to be up in the air so much?
For changing a tire, a farm jack is perfectly fine. You need to start with solid footing, set the jack straight, and only need to jack enough for the tire to clear the ground. The other tire is there to catch it if the jack should slip. Same situation as if you stacked up a bunch of cribbing and used a bottle jack.
The only thing dangerous about a farm jack is the person running it, and the choices they make. Follow the same rules as you would for any other jack, and they're fine. The problem is people throw the rules out the window when they see a farm jack.
If you're doing more involved work, a more involved cribbing setup should be used. I would still lift it with the farm jack, on a tractor like that, but I'd start with having most of the cribbing in place so all I had to do was slip in the last 4x4 to support things.
