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 Makes a Toro Dingo?

The Toro Dingo is a compact utility loader designed to perform a wide variety of landscaping and construction tasks. Known for its maneuverability and ability to handle a wide array of attachments, the Dingo simplifies tough, labor-intensive jobs and reduces the need for multiple pieces of equipment.

Toro offers several models, including the Dingo TX 1000 TURBO and TX 1300, all designed to deliver maximum power in a compact form factor. These machines are designed to lift, haul, trench, grade, and dig—making them an ideal solution for professionals managing a wide range of projects.

Tailored for Missouri Conditions

Missouri landscapes range from rural acreage to urban backyards, with soil types varying from sandy loam to clay. Toro Dingos meet these challenges with:

  • Compact Footprint: Easily accesses tight spaces behind fences or through single‑gate openings.
  • Traction Options: Track models distribute weight evenly to protect lawns, while wheel models offer mobility on driveways and hard surfaces
  • Switchable Power Sources: Choose between gas, diesel, or even electric variants—match efficiency to your site’s needs

How Landscapers Use Them Daily

The Dingo’s strength lies in its versatility. Common landscaping tasks tackled each day include:

  • Material Transport: Move soil, mulch, pavers, and stone quickly with bucket attachments.
  • Planting Prep: Use augers to bore holes for trees, shrubs, or fence posts.
  • Grading & Leveling: Feather topsoil, prep beds, or adjust slopes with precision.
  • Trench Digging: Install irrigation or drainage lines neatly with mini trenchers.
  • Debris Cleanup: Collect branches, rocks, and waste to maintain tidy and safe sites.

The quick-swap attachment function maximizes uptime—no need to switch machines.

Toro® Dingo® TX 1300 Track Loader

Choosing the Right Dingo Model

  • TX 1000 TURBO: Offers increased torque and hydraulic power over the standard model, with a rated operating capacity of over 1,000 lb and a vertical lift loader arm design for enhanced reach. Available in both narrow and wide track versions to suit tight-access jobs or provide extra stability on varied terrain
  • TX 1300: Offers stronger hydraulic flow and improved lifting, perfect for heavy-duty planting or stone work.
  • Narrow vs Wide Tracks: Narrow tracks are excellent for gate-access projects; wider versions offer stability for rough terrain or sloped lawns.

Luby Equipment can help you match the right model and track/wheel setup to your yard and workload.

1. Efficiency Equals Profit

Powered by strong hydraulic systems and efficient engines, a Dingo gets more done in less time—doubling or tripling productivity on standard landscaping tasks.

2. Gentle on Turf

Track systems distribute weight evenly, minimizing soil compaction and grass damage—crucial for maintaining pristine residential lawns.

3. Less Crew Fatigue

Engineered for operator comfort, many models feature user-friendly joysticks and ergonomic platforms, which reduce strain during extended periods.

4. Year-Round Versatility

From spring planting to fall cleanup, and even snow removal with the right attachments, the Dingo proves its value through reliable performance throughout the seasons.

5. Durable Engineered Design

With Toro’s industry-leading traction system and robust frame, Dingos withstand harsh site conditions job after job.
