The Toro Company introduced the Dingo TX 1000. The newest member of the Dingo family has a rated operating capacity exceeding 1,000 pounds. When the loader arms are fully extended, the hinge pin measures 81 inches from the ground to allow the TX 1000 to easily reach over the side of dumpsters and one-ton trucks to maximize jobsite productivity.
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. Additionally, this feature increases the reach at full height to make dumping more efficient. The vertical path of the lift arms is also designed for vertical applications with the auger or concrete breaker. Another exclusive feature on the new TX 1000 is the weight-to-power ratio. The narrow track model is 2,610 lbs (1,184 kg), and wide-track is 2,790 lbs (1,266 kg).
Operator-centric features engineered into the TX 1000 include thigh and hip padding on the operator station and an auxiliary foot control integrated into the suspended platform, freeing the operator’s hands to focus on ground speed and attachment positioning.
The Kubota 1305 liquid-cooled, diesel engine provides 24 gross hp at 2,600 rpm with increased displacement and high torque. The machine also is equipped with dual fuel tanks to 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.
