I like to use 4x4 timbers stacked in pairs like lincoln logs. I would not use landscape timbers due to the round edges. Also get in some 2x4s for when it starts to get close to the frame. In general, build it up as close as you can to the frame or axles, then lift up with an engine hoist or similar and lower back down onto the cribbing.

My main reason for not going close to the ground is if you have, say, a tricycle type tractor, you'd have to lower the front down, and then each rear axle would drop one at a time causing the tractor to lean over rather badly until the other side was down. I don't like leaning tractors at all. I built my cribbing about 12" on center as far as stacking the boards. Stay away from concrete blocks as they have no "give" and are prone to collapsing (as well as being more expensive).
