Airman is a Japanese company that makes mini excavators and tracked dumpers and man lifts most of the lifts are rubber tracked. I have run several airman excavators. I even rolled on over in a parking lot. That was a fluke though. They seem to be a very good machine I ran one for 3 days in a large box culvert that has silted in loading a tracked dumper. It was a really nice machine.

In one of the pics, i think i can see Kubota's logo on the counterweight. SO maybe its a re-branded Kubota machine (or has Kubota power)

I believe seivers equipment up on I55 sold these for a little while then drop the brand??? I seen a few of them in the area (our farm is up the road 60 miles). For the price you could get a name brand machine, be carefull of machines with fresh paint and on craigs list.
I seen a bobcat 341 with same hrs sell for a few K more about month ago on an auction.

Interesting. The conventional excavators run Kubota power and the Zero tail are Yanmar power...
Just a guess but id say the Conventionals are re-badged kubotas (sure look like it) and the ZTS are Yanmars. But could be wrong. I didnt compare all the specs.
