BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (October 18, 2023) — Whether customers need wheels or tracks, gas, diesel or electric, radial and vertical lifting or telescoping arms, or specific attachments, there’s a Toro^® Dingo that’s right for the job. With the addition of the new eDingo^® 500 to its lineup earlier this year, Toro now boasts a dozen variations of the popular compact utility loader (CUL) equipment class.

“Toro shook up the industry when we brought the first Dingo to North America a quarter-century ago,” says Sam Dando, senior product marketing manager at Toro. “Since then, we’ve established the compact utility loader as an essential tool on every job site and we’ve never stopped innovating the Dingo portfolio. That translates to the broadest, most all-encompassing lineup of compact utility loaders on the market today.

Toro has continued to set and raise the standard for compact utility loaders by listening to the wants and needs of our end-users. We build specialized equipment to meet the specific needs of the jobsite — from inventing the tracked CUL category with the Dingo TX 420 more than 20 years ago, to pioneering the vertical lift 1000-pound rated operating capacity class with the TX 1000 in 2015 and introducing the first compact track loader with telescoping arms.

“Customer feedback even helped us develop and patent our industry-favorite, intuitive controls. The controls reduce operator fatigue by requiring less physical effort to operate than traditional manual CUL controls, a crucial factor during long hours of operation. Plus, these controls offer intuitive, precise motion, ensuring that the Dingo responds accurately to the operator's commands, enabling it to move precisely in the desired direction, even when reversing,” says Dando. “The fact of the matter is we’ve been doing this longer than any competitive CUL brand out there and we will continue to find creative and effective solutions for contractors everywhere.”

End users can choose from a variety of Dingo configurations, not to mention more than 35 attachments to help get the job done. When it comes to finding the right Dingo for your job, it comes down to matching the model’s size, capacity and reach to your applications. Here’s a look at Toro’s full line of Dingo models and how they compare:
