Jenny was the best, answered questions on several calls that other dealers could not. I live in KC and shopped auctions, dealers nationwide, Facebook market place. Got my best deal on my TL12V2 machine from Luby with extended warranty. Drove to Fenton and picked up machine. Machine was as described and ready to go as promised. Jenny’s friendliness and listening to my wants sold me! Her boss should give her a raise thanks again!

This was my first experience with Luby Equipment. Jenny Swafford was my sales person. She promptly made a deal with me working out the transportation and all the details. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and gave me many detailed pictures of the piece of equipment. I do many deals in my line of work and I can tell you she is among the best. I would do business again and hope I can. My experience with Lubys has been the best. I could not be happier. Good job Jenny I wish there were more like you doing business would be a much funner experience. Mike.

Toro Dingo Weight Range
Toro Dingos come in several models, each with its specifications. The weight of a Toro Dingo can range from approximately 1,600 to 2,600 pounds, depending on the specific model and configuration. Let’s look at some popular models:
It’s important to note that these weights are for the base machines without attachments. The weight can increase significantly when attachments or filled fuel tanks are added.
Factors Affecting Toro Dingo Weight
Several factors contribute to the overall weight of a Toro Dingo:
Model size: Larger models like the TX 1000 series are naturally heavier than compact models like the TX 427.
Track width: Wide track models typically weigh more than their narrow track counterparts, providing better stability and flotation.
Attachments: The weight of attachments can add anywhere from 50 to several hundred pounds to the machine’s total weight.
Fuel: A full fuel tank can add up to 100 pounds, depending on the model’s fuel capacity.
Optional features: Additional features like cab enclosures or specialized controls can increase the overall weight.
Why Weight Matters in Compact Utility Loaders
Understanding the weight of your Toro Dingo is crucial for several reasons:
Transportation: You need to ensure your trailer and towing vehicle can safely handle the weight of the Dingo plus any attachments.
Ground pressure: Lighter machines exert less pressure on the ground, making them suitable for work on sensitive surfaces or landscapes.
Stability: Heavier machines generally offer better stability, especially when lifting or carrying loads.
Maneuverability: Lighter machines can be more agile in tight spaces, while heavier ones may provide more traction and pushing power.
Lift capacity: The machine’s weight plays a role in determining its safe lifting capacity.

When selecting a Toro Dingo, consider the following:
Attachments: Factor in the weight of frequently used attachments when considering the total machine weight.
Job requirements: Heavier models like the TX 1000 series offer more power and lifting capacity for demanding jobs, while lighter models like the TX 427 excel in confined spaces and on delicate surfaces.
Transportation limitations: Ensure your current transportation setup can handle the weight of the Dingo model you’re considering.
Terrain: Despite the added weight, a wider track model might be preferable for soft or uneven terrain.
Maintaining Your Toro Dingo
Regardless of the model’s weight, proper maintenance is key to ensuring your Toro Dingo performs optimally:
Regular inspections: Check for wear and tear, especially on components that bear weight.
Adequate cleaning: Remove debris and mud to prevent unnecessary weight and strain on the machine.
Lubrication: Keep all moving parts well-lubricated to reduce friction and wear.
Tire/track maintenance: Ensure proper inflation for wheeled models or tension for tracked models.
Weight distribution: When using attachments, be mindful of weight distribution to maintain stability.
