Brush belt for seed delivery

A brush belt configured for use with a delivery system including a drive pulley having a plurality of pulley teeth and a plurality of pulley grooves, teeth of the plurality of pulley teeth alternating with grooves of the plurality of pulley grooves about a circumference of the drive pulley, the brush belt comprising:

• a base member having a longitudinal axis, a mounting surface, and a traction surface having a plurality of traction teeth, wherein each tooth of the plurality of traction teeth is configured to engage one groove of the plurality of pulley grooves during rotation of the drive pulley, wherein each traction tooth defines a first length extending along the longitudinal axis of the base member and each traction groove defines a second length extending along the longitudinal axis of the base member, the first length being substantially similar to the second length;
• and
• a plurality of bristles, each bristle of the plurality of bristles having a first end proximal to the mounting surface and a second end distal thereto, the second ends of the plurality of bristles collectively presenting a continuous bristle surface.

A brush belt comprising:

• a base member configured as a continuous loop and having a first side, a second side positioned opposite the first side, a width defined between the first side and the second side, an outward surface extending between the first side and the second side, an enclosed inward surface opposite the outward surface and extending between the first side and the second side, the outward surface being in the form of a mounting surface and the inward surface being in the form of a traction surface, the traction surface including a plurality of traction teeth extending about a circumference of the continuous loop, each tooth of the plurality of traction teeth extending between the first side to a location between the first side and the second side;
• and
• a plurality of bristles extending outwardly from the mounting surface, each bristle of the plurality of bristles having a first end proximal to the mounting surface and a second end distal thereto.
