Get FinancingToro’s New Dingo TX 1000 Turbo Compact Loader Offers More Torque For Demanding Attachments
Toro recently introduced a new compact utility loader in its Dingo TX series: the Dingo TX 1000 Turbo. The new tracked, step-on loader has a rated operating capacity of 1,000 pounds (453 kilograms). Toro introduced the Dingo TX 1000 last month at the American Rental Association’s ARA Show in Las Vegas.
"When we first introduced the Dingo TX 1000, we made history in the compact utility loader market," says Toro Product Marketing Manager Kyle Cartwright. “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.
“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,” Cartwright says. The Dingo TX 1000 Turbo will be available in spring 2024.
Turbo For More Torque
Although the Dingo TX 1000 Turbo has the same lifting capacity as earlier versions, its turbo-powered diesel engine produces more torque. This is especially noticeable while running demanding attachments such as a trencher or an auger.
The loader’s 24.7-horsepower (18.4-kilowatt) Yanmar engine is engineered to reduce vibration. Toro’s new patent-pending Smart Power feature automatically maintains maximum engine, auxiliary, and traction torque during operation.
The new Dingo’s controls are extremely smooth thanks to Toro’s patented traction control design. The Dingo TX 1000 Turbo also uses the larger hydraulic filter of the Dingo TX 1300 model to extend its maintenance intervals.
Dingo TX 1000 Turbo Specifications
Like its predecessors, the TX 1000 Turbo uses a vertical-lift loader arm design that keeps the load closer to the machine for maximum lifting force and reach. With its arms fully raised, the Toro Dingo TX 1000 Turbo can attain an 81-inch (206-centimeter) hinge pin height, a 60.3-in. (153-cm) dump height, and a 23.3-in. (59-cm) max reach. The new Dingo can easily load over the side of a 30-cubic-yard (23-cubic-meter) roll-off container or a 1-ton truck bed, Toro says.
The Dingo TX 1000 Turbo will come in narrow- and wide-track models. The narrow-track edition easily fits through standard 36-in. (91.4-cm) gates, making it a sound choice for work in residential backyards. The narrow-track Dingo weighs 2,826 lbs (1,282 kg) and has a B-pattern (block style) tread on its tracks.
The wide-track version of the Dingo TX 1000 Turbo uses less aggressive metal-embedded solid rubber tracks (MERT) that are gentler on turf. This broader configuration of the new loader is 39.9 in. (1,013 millimeters) wide and weighs 2,911 lbs (1,320 kg).
New, But Still A Dingo
“The reality is the Dingo TX 1000 changed the compact utility loader game,” says Cartwright. “That’s why, when we approached the design, we wanted to ensure all the beloved and trusted features remained.”
Besides having the same vertical lift loader arm design as previous Dingos, the new TX 1000 Turbo model also retains the series’ thigh and hip padding on its suspended platform’s operator station. The new Dingo also has a zero-radius turn capability and a new digital display.
The Dingo TX 1000 Turbo can travel at up to 4.1 mph (6.6 km/h) in both forward and reverse, and its diesel fuel tank holds 10.25 gallons (38.8 liters). The operator can use an auxiliary foot pedal to regulate hydraulic flow to the attachment, leaving his hands free to control the loader’s ground speed and attachment position.
