TORO has introduced a new compact utility loader featuring a turbo diesel engine. 

The Dingo TX 1000 Turbo builds on the manufacturer's existing TX 1000 skidsteer, but comes packed with a turbo-charged Yanmar engine and a range of new features to "maximise engine, auxiliary, and traction torque". 

"Toro made history when it introduced the Dingo TX 1000," said 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 maximise productivity for landscape professionals, arborists, hardscapers and construction contractors."

Toro says 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. 

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," added Sam. "We kept all the trusted features that made the original a favourite, 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 maximise jobsite productivity.

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.
