Not when you're that deep, trust me.
Compact tractors don't have a lot of loader force-intentionally-so you can't lift something that will roll it on its nose. You can still flip one that way, but you need to have a load on forks way in front of the bucket or you catch a raised bucket on something unyielding and roll it backwards. Lotsa folks get killed in tractor rollovers.
