Go 10.00x16 absolutely. I have a much smaller tractor- Ford NH 3010S @ 42 PTO hp, and I put a loader on it-Woods 1020. The stock 7.50"s didnt hold up to anything! I had more tire repairs in 3 months of loader use than 7 years previous. Went with the exact rim you have Goodyear tri rib 10-16"s, and problem was over-haven"t flattened one yet moving dirt. I believe my total cost per tire was about $250 for rim, tube, and tire. I offer this because now that I have flotation on the front end the abilities of the unit are twice what they were. I can go over softer ground, and the horsepower needed to move around isn"t as much. Without good flotation on the front I"m of the opinion the front axle assembly is taking a beating, and the horsepower needed is excessive.
