Airman Excavators

Anybody hear of or operate one of these? A friend of a friend has one for sale at a good price. Google search did not turn up much.

I rented one once for 1 day from a local rental company. It did not run well, probably because it wasn't maintained properly. The engine would bog down easily when trying to travel or use several functions at once. I bet the hydraulic filter had never been changed. This was my only experience on an Airmen.

I had heard the name but have never seen one here inthe New England area.

Sorry.

A rental company here used to have them.

A buddy of mine rented a real tiny excavator about 10 years ago and he tipped it over, him and another guy were able to push it back upright, (real small). I ran it for a few hours, seeing how close I could get it to tipping with out it going over, it was fun....but I wouldn't want to own one.

What model/size are you looking at, can you get parts for it? What exactly is their "good price"?

a local rental company had three or four of em. They swore by then. Tried one a little bit, seemed like a decent rig, they had ax35's and 45's if I remember right.
