Toro has refreshed its Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 compact utility loaders, keeping the easy-to-use walk-behind operation style, while updating the machines with a modern design.
Geared toward contractors and rental customers, the gasoline-fueled Dingo TX 450 and diesel TX 550 can take on digging, hauling and grading tasks in spaces that don’t allow for bulky machinery.
Toro says the rugged, reliable and straightforward design lets first-time users and experienced operators alike complete tasks quickly and efficiently.
“Engineered for ease, the Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 are intuitive to handle,” says Kaitlyn Ingli, product marketing manager at Toro. “These machines are powerful tools, whether you're planting trees and shrubs, moving materials around or installing irrigation. The refreshed Dingos offer an uncomplicated solution for projects that might otherwise be too labor-intensive to tackle by hand.”
