If it was the other way round, the cab would be leaning backwards and the driver would get a headache.
Its the only way you can get ground clearance from the differential, the differential being the lowest point of a tractor, on four wheel drive tractors where they have a differential at the front as well they also have large wheels. lots of ground clearance needed for spanning crops etc so not to damage them.
