You guys have been top notch for me every time. I’ve been the maintenance director at 2 different facilities where I have used your services on our generators. This time a tech came out for again another generator. The techs name was Eric, he did an awesome job and was great to talk with. I will absolutely request him for service from now on. The personal factor is huge for me while doing business since my industry is long term care. Thanks for great service as always!

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.

These guys are not only friendly and caring folks, but they are also outstanding in parts and sales. These guys do WHAT EVER it takes to get your machine back up and running.they dont care if it's an 30 year old machine or brand new. I will NEVER shop anywhere else for my machine. I don't care if I have to wait on shipping and the part is $100.00 cheaper some where else. I firmly believe in supporting our local small town shops ESPECIALLY when they do what ever it takes to help you out. Thank you everyone at potters equipment, Greg

I cant say enough good things about Luby Equipment in Caseyville. Under the leadership of Dave Ellison, and the knowledge of the mechanics on staff, especially Zach. I am so pleased with the service that we get from them. You call and it seems that they are there in no time, We have a Caterpillar D6C Dozer, it had a fuel leak, I called Dave, he sent Zach, and when he was completed, that unit ran better than ever before. I could go on and on. However, I will just say thanks.

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:

  1. Toro Dingo TX 427 Narrow Track: Approximately 1,630 lbs
  2. Toro Dingo TX 427 Wide Track: Approximately 1,730 lbs
  3. Toro Dingo TX 1000 Narrow Track: Approximately 2,300 lbs
  4. Toro Dingo TX 1000 Wide Track: Approximately 2,610 lbs

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.

Several factors contribute to the overall weight of a Toro Dingo:

  1. Model size: Larger models like the TX 1000 series are naturally heavier than compact models like the TX 427.
  2. Track width: Wide track models typically weigh more than their narrow track counterparts, providing better stability and flotation.
  3. Attachments: The weight of attachments can add anywhere from 50 to several hundred pounds to the machine’s total weight.
  1. Fuel: A full fuel tank can add up to 100 pounds, depending on the model’s fuel capacity.
  2. 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:

  1. Transportation: You need to ensure your trailer and towing vehicle can safely handle the weight of the Dingo plus any attachments.
  2. Ground pressure: Lighter machines exert less pressure on the ground, making them suitable for work on sensitive surfaces or landscapes.
  3. Stability: Heavier machines generally offer better stability, especially when lifting or carrying loads.
  4. Maneuverability: Lighter machines can be more agile in tight spaces, while heavier ones may provide more traction and pushing power.
  5. Lift capacity: The machine’s weight plays a role in determining its safe lifting capacity.
Toro® Dingo® Mini Track Loader TX 1000

Choosing the Right Toro Dingo for Your Needs

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:

  1. Regular inspections: Check for wear and tear, especially on components that bear weight.
  2. Adequate cleaning: Remove debris and mud to prevent unnecessary weight and strain on the machine.
  3. Lubrication: Keep all moving parts well-lubricated to reduce friction and wear.
  4. Tire/track maintenance: Ensure proper inflation for wheeled models or tension for tracked models.
  5. Weight distribution: When using attachments, be mindful of weight distribution to maintain stability.

Luby Equipment Services offers various Toro Dingo models to suit different needs. Our expert staff can help you choose the right model based on your requirements, including weight considerations. We also provide comprehensive maintenance services to keep your Toro Dingo running smoothly, regardless of size or weight.

The weight of a Toro Dingo can vary significantly between models, ranging from about 1,600 to 2,600 pounds. Understanding these weight differences and their implications is crucial for selecting the suitable machine for your job and ensuring safe, efficient operation.
