My swing cylinder chain just broke on my backhoe, so I am now thinking of getting the rubber antiseep collar and digging by hand.

Are the rubber antiseep collars as good as concrete?

I was leaning towards the concrete one because of the two six inch pipes that are two inches apart. Can I cut the two six inch holes that close together in the rubber or should I get rid of one of the pipes?

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.

Thanks for the help!
