Toro has unveiled the Dingo TX 1000 TURBO compact utility loader for construction work. The machine is equipped with a turbo-powered diesel engine and the new patent-pending Smart Power feature for engine, auxiliary and traction torque.
"When we first introduced the Dingo TX 1000, we made history in the compact utility loader market," said Kyle Cartwright, product marketing manager at Toro. “Since that monumental introduction, we’ve worked closely with our customers to understand their needs and are excited to introduce the next iteration of the Dingo TX 1000, redesigned from the ground up to maximize strength and productivity."
The Dingo TX 1000 TURBO has a large hydraulic filter, found in the Dingo TX 1300 model, for long maintenance intervals. Available in both narrow- and wide-track models, the TURBO is built to meet the requirements of the operator and jobsite. The narrow-track model is 2,826 lbs. (1,282 kg) and features a standard track with “B” style tread. The wide-track version is 2,911 lbs. (1,320 kg) and features a less aggressive tread pattern.
“The reality is the Dingo TX 1000 changed the compact utility loader game. That’s why, when we approached the design, we wanted to ensure all the beloved and trusted features remained,” said Cartwright. “The new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO simply builds on the standard set by the original, and we’re so excited to get this new turbo-charged machine in the hands of operators.”
Like its predecessor, the Dingo TX 1000 TURBO has a rated operating capacity of 1,000 lbs. When the loader arms are at full reach the hinge pin measures 81 in. from the ground to allow the machine to reach over the side of dumpsters and 1-ton trucks.
Just like the original Dingo TX 1000, the new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO features a vertical lift loader arm design, which keeps the load close to the machine. Additionally, this feature increases the reach at full height.
The new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO is equipped with the Toro-exclusive patented traction control design. Other operator-centric features include thigh and hip padding on the operator station and an auxiliary foot control on the suspended platform which frees the operator’s hands to focus on ground speed and attachment positioning.
The 24.7-hp Yanmar diesel engine is engineered with a focus on vibration reduction, delivering up to 4.1 mph ground speed in both forward and reverse. The machine features a single diesel fuel tank (10.25 gallons) on the operator’s left-hand side and the hydraulic oil reservoir on the operator’s right-hand side for serviceability.
“With the introduction of TURBO, we’re also excited to share that we've invested in expanding production capacity across the full line, so we can continue to meet the needs of our customers,” said Cartwright.
