Abstract
A debris collector and associated systems and methods are disclosed. The debris collector is configured to receive and process debris, such as lawn debris, by way of a variety of intake systems, such as a basket and vacuum tube. After intake, the debris collector is configured to process the debris by way of an auger and agitators, so as to be passed through a blower fan for disposal.

A debris collector, comprising:
- a. a chassis;
- b. a plurality of wheels;
- c. a hopper comprising first and second ends, first and second sides, a floor and a substantially hollow central portion configured to receive debris, the debris housing further comprising:
- i. at least one agitator;
- ii. at least one auger;
- and
- iii a hydraulic system;
- and
- d. a blower further comprising a blower fan disposed substantially at the first end of the hopper;
- wherein the at least one agitator and at least one auger are in operational communication with the hydraulic system so as process and direct the travel of lawn debris placed in the housing toward the blower.
