Whether you’re a contractor taking on a residential job or a homeowner tackling backyard improvements, renting one of these machines could offer the perfect mix of performance, convenience, and efficiency.

Since only select models are available for rental, it’s important to understand each model’s strengths and how they align with your project goals. This article outlines what to consider when renting compact Toro equipment, how to select the right machine, and how to prepare for the job.

I had a hydraulic problem on my skid steer and called all my local dealers in the lake Ozark area. They were all weeks out and really acted like they didn’t want to take the job. We called Luby Equipment out of Springfield and they pulled it in the next day to diagnose, and got the ball rolling. Travis at the desk answered all our phone calls and let us know the progress. If my Case machine needs work from here on out, I’ll be taking it to Luby. Customer service was tip top
Response from the owner:Cody, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We’re glad we could get you taken care of on such short notice. We know downtime is money lost, so keeping customers updated and getting machines back to work matters. We’ll make sure Travis and the Springfield team see this.

What Is a Toro Dingo?

The Toro Dingo is a compact utility loader that tackles heavy-duty jobs in tight spaces. Its small footprint and maneuverability make it ideal for work on soft or sensitive surfaces, where full-sized machines might cause damage.

Luby Equipment rents the Toro Dingo TX 1000 (Wide Track), which supports a range of compatible attachments, including:

This versatility makes them popular across many industries, from landscaping to irrigation, and hardscaping to general property maintenance.

Equipment Available for Rental

Luby Equipment currently offers two compact, jobsite-ready Toro machines for rental:

Toro Dingo TX 1000 (Wide Track Only)

  • Engine: 24.9 HP diesel engine
  • Width: ~41″ (Wide Track)
  • Operating Capacity: 1,000 lbs.
  • Best For: Commercial, high-load, or demanding tasks
  • Benefits: Enhanced stability, reduced ground pressure, vertical lift increases reach and lift height

Toro Ultra Mud Buggy 2500-TS

  • Engine: 25 HP Kohler engine
  • Capacity: 16 cu. ft. or up to 2,500 lbs. of payload
  • Best For: Material transport over rough terrain, especially in wet or muddy conditions
  • Benefits: Four-wheel drive, excellent traction, and high productivity in demanding site conditions

Both units are purpose-built to maximize efficiency and maneuverability on tight, challenging worksites.

Things to Consider Before Renting Compact Equipment

  1. Project Scope & Terrain: Are you trenching, lifting, grading, or drilling? And is your surface soil, turf, or gravel? These details influence your choice of machine and attachments.
  2. Transport & Access: Measure gate widths and plan for machine delivery or trailer compatibility. The Toro Dingo’s narrow profile is designed for access through standard gates.
  3. Operator Experience: Toros are designed to be intuitive, but each model will handle things differently. Before operating, be sure to ask for a walkthrough or reference materials.
  4. Attachment Compatibility: Not all attachments fit every model. Confirm your rental includes your chosen tool’s correct coupler and hydraulic capacity.

Where to Rent Compact Toro Equipment

Luby Equipment offers Toro equipment rentals through our trusted equipment rental division. We currently provide the powerful TX 1000 in wide track configuration and the Toro Ultra Mud Buggy 2500-TS for material handling applications. While availability may vary by location and season, our team can help you select a Toro and attachments tailored to your needs.
