I saw something new the other day at my Deere dealer. It is a 3-pt mounted broom. It is about 2'x4', with 100's of 18" long nylon bristles hanging down. They are pretty stiff, and form a big brush. It is mainly used to get gravel off the lawn and back into the driveway where it belongs. It was priced at a grand. Kinda pricey. I may go back and see how those bristle ends are mounted and try to duplicate it....Serge.
