Hi, my experience is the same, 23 will out pull 45 in most hard surfaces and last longer if driving on pavement.
Disadavantage of 23 is mud, will clogg easier, frozen ground or side hill will skid side ways very easy. If you are in a climate where tire chains are used, regular chains will fall between the lugs, must use Trygg chains.
Unless you are pulling with this tractor or doing a lot of pavement driving I would buy the 45 tires.
Many years ago when Firestone first came out with 23 degree tires, my dad had a JD 420U with loader on it. When he had to replace the back tires the Firestone salesman tried to convince him to buy both 23 tires. He was a person that did not like change so he bought one of each. Anytime he was using that tractor on slippery surfaces he was always cursing the 23 degree tire.
