Why do push mowers have big back wheels?

The mower's larger rear wheels allow it to be pushed easier than smaller wheels. The rear wheels are also easier to use on hard ground as smaller wheels do not have as much pushing power as larger wheels.

Beside this, what is the advantage of large rear wheels on a lawn mower?

The point is that they are easier to push because the wheel diameter is larger and thus the ground has “more leverage” to turn the wheel. Another advantage of larger rear wheels is if there is any need for you to pick the front end of the mower up to push it over an item (stump, uneven terrain, driveway gravel, etc).

One may also ask, what is a high wheel mower? The front wheels on each mower have 8-inch diameter, standard-sized wheels. However, a high-wheel model replaces the 8-inch rear wheels with 9- to 12-inch diameter wheels. The latter mower often sells at a premium compared to standard mowers.

Also to know, can I put larger wheels on my push lawn mower?

I do not recommend putting bigger rear wheel on the mower. The reason is that it will change the pitch of the mower blade resulting in a poor cut. Our high wheel mowers have 12-inch rear wheels that are mounted higher to keep the blade pitched correctly.

Which is better front wheel or rear wheel mower?

FWD mowers are good for level terrain. Since the drive wheels are in front, they allow you to tip up and turn the mower more easily than some other drive systems. RWD provides more traction at the center of the mower, helping you mow hilly terrain more easily.
