the concept lies in understanding the pulling of a land mower.

it is easier to pull than to push so the train engine pulls the train and not push it

from the concept of friction it can be shown:
pulling is easier than pushing.

it is easy to pull than to push as in pushing the horizontal component is of no use.

while pulling friction force will help hence pulling is better than pushing so engine is at the front
