Toro has added a new Dingo TX 1300 compact utility loader to its construction equipment lineup that features an exclusive Intelliscope loader arm with SmartLoad technology. The loader arm gives operators 26 inches (66 centimeters) of additional reach. The TX 1300 also features a larger operator platform, a 109-in. (277-cm) hinge pin height that makes the new Dingo a good fit for loading trucks, and integrated loader arm hydraulics, which Toro says makes for easier picking, placing, and dumping operations.

Versatility That Pays Off

Toro introduced the Dingo TX 1300 at the American Rental Association’s annual ARA Show in mid-October in Las Vegas. The manufacturer says the TX 1300 is ideal for landscape, hardscape, and tree care applications, but is versatile enough for owners and renters to use it for numerous other types of jobs as well.

“The versatility of a machine can make or break a rental decision,” says Toro Marketing Manager Jay Thaker. “The Dingo TX 1300 can be used for many types of jobs and purposes, giving it an edge over other specialized machinery.”

The TX 1300’s pressure-relieving quick coupler system will make connecting attachments easier. Integration of hydraulics and loader arm functions into one thumb-operated controller lets operators use one hand to control the loader arm and auxiliary attachments while operating traction controls with the other.
