The 23" tires will give better traction, more than offsetting the benefit of speed reduction.
That probably isn't enough of a change to make a difference in the grand scheme of things because the size on the sidewall and the actual tire height rarely correspond, and there is a lot of variation in height between brands and styles for the same size tractor. A lot of 23" tires are less than 23" tall to begin with anyway.
