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.

Machine Overview
The Toro Dingo TX 1000 is a tracked compact utility loader designed to offer substantial power in a relatively small package. It’s built to handle various landscaping, construction, and agriculture tasks, among other industries. The machine’s compact size allows it to access tight spaces while providing impressive lifting and carrying capabilities.
Key Specifications
Engine: 37 hp Yanmar diesel engine
Rated Operating Capacity: 1,000 lbs (453.6 kg)
Tipping Capacity: 2,857 lbs (1,296 kg)
Width: 33.7 inches (85.6 cm)
Height: 56.5 inches (143.5 cm)
Length: 105.1 inches (266.9 cm)
Ground Clearance: 6 inches (15.2 cm)
Operating Weight: 2,610 lbs (1,184 kg)
Power and Performance
The TX 1000’s 37-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine provides ample power for demanding tasks. This robust power plant allows the machine to lift and transport heavy loads easily. The rated operating capacity of 1,000 pounds is impressive for a machine of this size, enabling it to handle substantial materials and attachments efficiently.
The TX 1000’s tracked design contributes significantly to its performance. The tracks provide excellent traction and stability, allowing the machine to operate effectively on various terrains, including soft or uneven ground. This feature makes the TX 1000 particularly useful in landscaping applications where minimal ground disturbance is crucial.
Versatility and Attachments
One of the standout features of the TX 1000 is its compatibility with over 35 Toro attachments. This wide range of attachments significantly enhances the machine’s versatility, allowing it to perform tasks such as digging, trenching, grading, material handling, and more. Some popular attachments include augers, backhoes, buckets, trenchers, and stump grinders.
The machine’s auxiliary hydraulic system, which operates at 16.9 gpm, provides sufficient power to run these various attachments effectively. The quick-attach system allows easy switching between attachments, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity on job sites.
Controls and Operation
The TX 1000 features twin joystick controls that are designed for intuitive operation. These controls allow for precise maneuvering and attachment operation, which can be particularly beneficial when working in tight spaces or performing detailed work.
The machine’s compact size—just 33.7 inches wide —allows it to pass through standard gate openings and work in confined areas where larger equipment can’t access. This feature and its zero-turn capability provide excellent maneuverability on job sites.
Comfort and Visibility
The TX 1000 is designed with operator comfort in mind. The standing platform provides a clear view of the work area and attachments, enhancing safety and precision during operation. The platform also includes an operator presence system that stops the loader’s movement and attachment operation if the operator steps off the platform.
Maintenance and Durability
Like all heavy equipment, the TX 1000 requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The machine’s design includes features to facilitate maintenance, such as easy access to daily service points. While providing excellent performance, the tracks require regular inspection and maintenance to prevent wear and ensure proper tension.
The TX 1000 is built with durability in mind, featuring a heavy-duty frame and components designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in challenging environments. However, as with any equipment, proper operation and regular maintenance are vital in maximizing lifespan.
Fuel Efficiency
The TX 1000’s diesel engine is designed to provide a good balance of power and fuel efficiency. The 13-gallon fuel tank allows for extended operation between refueling, which can contribute to increased productivity on job sites.
Model Variations
At Luby Equipment Services, we carry several Toro Dingo TX 1000 variations to suit different needs. Our inventory includes:
The wide track models offer enhanced stability and lower ground pressure, making them ideal for work on softer terrain or where minimal ground disturbance is crucial. For operations in extremely tight spaces, the narrow track model provides even greater maneuverability.
Each of these models maintains the core features of the TX 1000, including:
Powerful engine
Impressive lift capacity
Compatibility with numerous attachments
The primary difference lies in the track width, which affects the machine’s overall width and ground pressure. When selecting a TX 1000, consider the specific requirements of your typical job sites to determine whether a wide or narrow track model would be most beneficial for your operations.
Applications
The Toro Dingo TX 1000 is well-suited for a variety of applications across different industries:
Landscaping: Ideal for tasks such as grading, tree planting, hardscaping, and material transport.
Construction: Useful for site preparation, material handling, and various tasks in confined spaces.
Agriculture: Can assist with post-hole digging, material transport, and general farm maintenance.
Utility work: Suitable for tasks such as trenching and cable laying.
A Versatile Compact Powerhouse
The Toro Dingo TX 1000 offers a compelling combination of power, versatility, and compact design. Its ability to handle various attachments and work in tight spaces makes it a valuable tool for many industries. While it comes with the maintenance requirements typical of any heavy equipment, its performance capabilities can make it a worthwhile consideration for many operators.
