Biodegradable Bristle Brush for Rotary Broom?

[cray54]

I'd like to find a brush that is biodegradable; presumably with the brush made of either natural bristles or biodegradable plastic.

I recognize it would wear faster and caster adjustments would be more critical, but I remain interested.

I have a Kubota L2162 with a poly brush, I also have a replacement brush that is combo poly / steel bristles. I'd like to find new wafers for this unit or find another unit that has such an option available.

Thank you, Chris

Save yourself and do NOT use the steel/poly. That is only for commercial use like on highway projects. You will end up with wires stuck EVERYWHERE and furthermore the wires get so entangled that you will have to cut off the broom when it comes time to change it. I just went through this on an old broom I picked up and refurbed/modified. Search my user ID in the Build It Yourself forum as thread starter if you are curious. It was pure H-E-double hockey sticks to cut the broom off and took a crap ton of cutoff wheels to do it as they would catch easily and explode. I know this doesn't answer your specific question, but I thought it might help in general.

Thank you for the advice. I will leave that wafer set in the box and see if someone else has a use for it.
