Toro Sets a New Standard for Landscape Contractors with Next Generation Dingo® TX 1000 TURBO

Boosted torque for ultimate productivity

Oct 31, 2024  |   Construction  |   Rental  |   Professional Contractor

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Toro set the standard when it first introduced the Dingo® TX 1000, the very first compact utility loader with a rated operating capacity of 1000 lbs, in 2015. Now, it's redefined that standard with the introduction of its new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO. The Dingo TX 1000 TURBO builds off the proven success and strongest-in-class performance of the original Dingo TX 1000 with a turbo charged YANMAR® diesel engine and the new patent pending Smart Power® feature to maximize engine, auxiliary, and traction torque.

"Toro made history when it introduced the Dingo TX 1000," says Sam Dando, senior product marketing manager at Toro. “Since that monumental introduction, we’ve worked closely with customers to understand their needs. We are excited to introduce the next iteration of the Dingo TX 1000, redesigned from the ground up to maximize productivity for landscape professionals, arborists, hardscapers and construction contractors."

Operators will feel the difference, literally. The Dingo TX 1000 TURBO's new turbo diesel engine delivers increased torque, significantly boosting productivity when using popular landscape attachments like the trencher and auger. Toro engineers integrated the proven track system from the larger more powerful TX 1300 for improved track life and reliability.

Available in both narrow and wide track models, the TURBO is built to suit operator and job site needs. 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).

"The Dingo TX 1000 redefined what compact utility loaders could do, and the new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO raises the bar even higher," says Dando. "We kept all the trusted features that made the original a favorite, but the turbo-charged upgrade delivers even more torque and productivity. Landscape contractors will especially appreciate how much easier it is to handle attachments like trenchers, augers, and soil cultivators with the enhanced hydraulic performance. This machine is designed to make demanding tasks faster and more efficient, giving contractors a performance edge.”

Like its predecessor, the Dingo TX 1000 TURBO has a rated operating capacity of 1,000 pounds. It also features the same vertical lift loader arm design, which keeps the load closer to the machine to allow operators to move materials with greater confidence. When the loader arms are at full height, the hinge pin measures an impressive 81 inches from the ground, which allows the machine to easily reach over the side of dumpsters and one-ton trucks to maximize jobsite productivity.

Operators will feel confident knowing the new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO has the Toro-exclusive patented traction control design. Deemed the smoothest controls in the market, these controls are intuitive and effortless, providing operators with all-day productivity. Other operator-centric features have been carried over, including thigh and hip padding on the operator station for a comfortable experience 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 performance. The result is an engine more than capable of handling the most demanding applications. Delivering up to 4.1 mph ground speeds in both forward and reverse, the new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO maximizes productivity. 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 improved serviceability.

The new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO is available now. For more information on how this unit can benefit you and your crew, please visit toro.com.
