Toro Co.’s new Toro Dingo TX 1000 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 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 strong in vertical applications with the auger or concrete breaker. The narrow track model is 2,610 pounds, and wide track is 2,790 pounds.
“We are extremely excited for the Dingo TX 1000 to increase the jobsite productivity of contractors,” said Sean O’Halloran, marketing manager for The Toro Company. “We listened to what was important to operators of compact utility loaders.”
Other operator-centric features have been engineered into the new TX 1000, including thigh and hip padding on the operator station for a comfortable experience and an auxiliary foot control integrated into the suspended platform which frees the operator’s hands to focus on ground speed and attachment positioning.
The Kubota 1305 liquid-cooled, diesel engine offers 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 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.
