Large Rear Wheels
* Pros:
* Provide more traction, which can be helpful when mowing on hills or in wet conditions.
* Make it easier to maneuver the mower over rough terrain.
* Can help to reduce scalping, which is when the mower blades cut too deeply into the grass.
* Cons:
* Can make the mower more difficult to push, especially if you have a small lawn.
* May be more expensive than mowers with smaller rear wheels.
