The Dingo TX525 compact utility loader
Compact utility loader specialist The 8071 Toro Company previewed the newest member of its Dingo range, the TX 1000, at INTERMAT 2015. Due for launch in summer 2015, the machine will have a rated operating capacity exceeding 454 kg, says the company. When the loader arms are fully-extended, the hinge pin will measure 206 cm from the ground for reaching over the side of dumpsters and trucks. The vertical lift loader arm design keeps the load closer to the machine to allow operators to lift more weight with greater confidence. The TX 1000 comes in two options: a narrow track model weighing 1,184 kg and a wide-track model weighing 1,266 kg.¬¬¬ The TX 1000 represents a major upgrade on the company’s well established TX 525 utility loader that was on show at INTERMAT.

Toro also offers the DD4045 horizontal directional drill that features a 160-horsepower 196 Cummins QSB4.5 diesel, liquid-cooled engine and an on-board, infinitely variable drilling fluid pump that delivers a flow of up to 264.9 l/min.
