Newest Toro Dingo Packs More Power
Toro Company introduced its newest and most powerful Dingo, the TX 1000, with rated operating capacity exceeding 1,000-lb, and a hinge pin height of 81-in. It's designed to carry larger loads and lift them over the side of dumpsters and 1-ton trucks.
Also unique to the industry in the category is the vertical lift loader arm design, which keeps the load closer to the machine to allow operators to lift more weight with greater confidence. This feature increases the reach at full height to make dumping more efficient, The narrow track model is 2,610 lbs and wide-track is 2,790 lbs. The company says the new machine can lift more than any CUL in the category.
“We are extremely excited for the Dingo TX 1000 to increase the jobsite productivity,” explains Sean O’Halloran, marketing manager for The Toro Company. “We listened to what was important to operators of compact utility loaders, and our end result is a highly-engineered, feature-rich machine that is the leader in a number of specifications across the product class.”
The Toro-exclusive traction control design, thigh and hip padding on the operator station, and an auxiliary foot control that lets the operator focus on ground speed and attachment positioning, are designed for comport and productivity. The Dingo is powered by a Kubota 1305 liquid-cooled, diesel engine, with 24 gross hp at 2,600 rpm with increased displacement and high torque – giving the TX 1000 maximum power. Dual fuel tanks reduce downtime in the field. Other time-saving features include an easily accessible engine for routine maintenance tasks, belt-free design to minimize maintenance, and ground speeds of 4.7 mph in both forward and reverse to maximize productivity.
