Dingo winner announced
Tyler Dillon of A1 Rent It in Wayzata, Minnesota wins new Dingo TX 450 in Toro giveaway sweepstakes.
Dillon is the official winner of the Toro Dingo TX 450 giveaway, a sweepstakes launched to celebrate the Dingo’s long-standing legacy as a rental fleet staple.
“We had the teams at each of our locations enter the giveaway, so we were all really excited to win,” says Chad Wagner, owner of A1 Rent It. “The Dingo TX 450 will go into our fleet, joining a couple of other Toro Dingo 427s that we rent for smaller jobs and areas with narrower access.”
The giveaway, which ran from January 1 through March 31, 2026, invited online entrants and American Rental Association Show attendees to win the redesigned compact utility loader.
“The new Dingo TX 450 features a refreshed design while retaining the familiar walk-behind style, straightforward controls, and exceptional operating performance that rental stores and customers have trusted for years,” says Kaitln Ingli, product marketing manager at Toro. “We couldn’t be more excited for Dillon and his team at A1 Rent It. This is the type of machine that can greatly impact operations right out of the gate, and we’re excited to see how the A1 Rent It team enjoys adding the Dingo to its fleet.”
The new Toro Dingo TX 450 was delivered to Dillon and Wagner in July at A1 Rent It in Wayzata. Established in 1963, A1 Rent It is a locally owned, family-operated equipment rental company that has been serving contractors and residents across the Minneapolis area for more than 60 years. Its steadfast commitment to customer experience is built on empowering people to complete projects efficiently by providing access to top-tier equipment and expert guidance without the cost of ownership.
“We might get the new Dingo wrapped and use it for parades and special promotions at our store,” says Wagner. “It could also serve as our friendly yard dog, helping with things like moving trailers and other tasks around the property.”
