I'm not familuar with the Athens 10'disk. If the disc's diameter is small and worn like my dads old 10' JD disk you may only need 40 hp to pull the disk. In this case I agree that the 5610 is the better choice. Hell I pulled the 10' JD disk with a farmall M with duals.

But hook up my dad's 14' white disk on soft ground and you'll be pulling it at 2 mph with the 5610 unless your just scratching the ground. Your 1066 must really need some attention if it's out pulled by a 5610 even with FWD. You simply cant beat the HP and weight of the 1066 compaired to the 5610 (twice the HP and twice the weight). It should pull circules around the 5610 on a bad day.

Set it up properly and turn up the injection pump and you've got a real puller. I've heard of 1066 pushing out over 160 hp and one pushing 180. The weak point is the ring an pinion and at 180 hp it won't last long. The DT-414 is a tough engine.
