Rusty: Here is what I have noticed over the years; 23 degree will give superior traction on reasonably hard surfaces. I have 23 on my SA and 45 on 130 and 140. On loose soil and side hill doing row crop cultivation the 45 don't slide sideways as much as the 23 do. I found much the same a few years back with 560 and 656, both close in weight and hp. On a outright hard pull the 23 would out pull the 45 on most surfaces. Again where side draft was a problem the 45 I liked much better. I had 23 on my 1066 and with duals the side draft item didn't seem to be affected in that application. I will admit I never had anything to compare with 1066. That side slip is quite noticable with the 23 degree tire on jobs like row cultivation, plowing, forage harvester, haybine, baler, etc. The only one that is a real problem is row cultivation with center and rear gangs. The tractor will start running like a dog on side hills and rear gangs tend to knock out some plants. Especially true in potatoes where you are trying to loosen a lot of soil for hilling. One thing I found surprising is H, 300 and 504 were not heavy enough for 2 row in potatoes. It needed the M, 400, 560 and 656, to get the volume of loose soil for good hilling thus stopping sunburn of potatoes.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
