ABSTRACT:
A hitch assembly for towing a mower includes a tool bar, a first hitch member for mounting on the tool bar, a pivot pin extending from the mower for engagement by the hitch member, and a spring for exerting a lifting force between the pin and the hitch member to transfer a portion of the weight of the mower to the hitch assembly. The spring may be a tension spring extending between the pivot pin and an upper hitch portion to bias the pivot pin toward the upper hitch portion, or a compression spring captured between the hitch member and a spring seat to bias the pivot pin upward relative to the hitch member.
