why does some lawnmower have large rear wheels and the front one small?
The small front wheels allow the wheels to be turned in the alloted space. Additionally, the front axle is a dead axle - it does not drive the machine - so the need for traction and weight distribution on that axle is much less than it is for the live (rear) axle.
