What do you mean by "safer": better side stability on hillsides; less chance of a bale rolling down the loader arms onto the operator; less chance of a rollover; the ability to drive faster on rough ground and move bales faster; the ability to lift bales higher while stacking; better floatation on soft ground; or something else?
Your present tractor and loader should be up to the task and are about as low profile as any available. Keeping the loader low and cautious operation are important to stay safe with any loader tractor. Overconfidence has probably caused more accidents and injuries than anything else. A four post roll bar, wide-set rear wheels, large diameter deep rib steering tires on 2WD tractors, adequate rear wheel ballast would all be safety improvements if they are not already on your current tractor.
A different tractor with front wheel drive, a factory four post cab, more horsepower, more weight, larger diameter wider tires, and a higher center of gravity without a wider rear wheel tread may let you work faster, but it not be a safety improvement over what you have if it makes you overconfident.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
