Lawn sweeper

A lawn sweeper for engaging a towing vehicle, comprising:

• a housing;
• a hitch assembly rigidly coupled to the housing;
• a sweeper assembly rotatably coupled to the housing;
• and
• a sweeper height adjustment assembly pivotably coupled to the housing,
• wherein the hitch assembly includes a clevis comprising a plurality of connector members forming a plurality of connection positions to adjustably couple the lawn sweeper to a tow vehicle.

A towable lawn sweeper, comprising:

• a housing;
• a hitch assembly rigidly coupled to the housing;
• a sweeper assembly rotatably coupled to the housing;
• and
• a sweeper height adjustment assembly pivotably coupled to the housing,
• wherein the height adjustment assembly includes a height adjustment bar pivotally mounted to the housing generally transverse to the lawn sweeper's direction of travel, a lever extending from the height adjustment bar generally perpendicular, a height retention member pivotally connected to the hitch assembly, and a fastener to releasably secure the lever to the height retention member.
