Toro has launched the Dingo TX 1300, which brings a new combination of power, reach, and convenient controls to the Toro Dingo lineup.
When you have a lot of material to move, the Dingo TX 1300 provides the power to do it efficiently. It’s ideal for landscape, hardscape, and tree care jobs, though its versatility allows it to be used for much more. Dingo compact utility loaders are an extremely functional class of machinery.
Features for maximum productivity
The Dingo TX 1300 features an exclusive Intelliscope loader arm with SmartLoad technology, giving the operator an additional 26” of reach. An impressive hinge-pin height of 109” allows for loads to be lifted up and over the side of a dumpster or truck, another major convenience. The goal of these features is to help users reach maximum productivity.
On that same note, Toro has integrated the hydraulics and loader arm functions into one thumb-operated controller for easier, more accommodating operation. One hand can be used to operate the loader arm and auxiliary attachments and the other to operate the Toro patented traction controls. This update makes it more manageable than ever to pick, place and dump loads all day long.
“The comfort of a machine can make or break the experience of the operator who’s using it day in and day out. The Dingo TX 1300’s comfort features make operation an enjoyable experience for anyone who steps foot on the platform,” said Kyle Cartwright, marketing manager at Toro. “By minimizing the number of areas with buttons and controls, the operator can better focus on the task at hand — improving productivity and efficiency.”
