Golf course maintenance is a year-round business, and the Toro Dingo compact utility loader can help with virtually any task in any season. With a multitude of models and attachments available to help golf course crews do everything from tilling, digging, grading and trenching to snow removal, backfilling, planting and transporting materials, Toro Dingo compact utility loaders offer the versatility to complete all these tasks in less time using less labor.
“Golf course-related maintenance and renovation often need to be done while the course is open for play or other events — so, efficiency is everything,” says Greg Lawrence, marketing product manager with The Toro Co. “Course crews need equipment that not only gets the job done, but also maintains the turf and appearance of the course. They are always on the lookout for equipment that can do more with few restrictions.”
Known for their lightweight footprint — as low as 3.4 psi on some models — and compact profile and zero-radius turning ability, Toro Dingo compact utility loaders easily operate in confined areas. This includes around existing landscaping, through tight spaces like gates, and on delicate grounds such as greens and bunkers.
Toro offers a variety of Dingo units to accommodate all terrains. Track models include the gas-powered TX 427, available in wide- or narrow-track design; the gas-powered TX 413 narrow-track unit; and the diesel-powered TX 525, available in both wide- and narrow-track designs.
Toro’s patented controls make operator training quick. Three, easy-to-use controls — an auxiliary hydraulics engagement lever, a left/right track control (forward, reverse, turn) and a raise/lower/curl/dump lever — allow the user to steer the machine with one hand while controlling the attachment with the other.
