Added torque

The Toro Company has unveiled the latest additions to its Dingo compact utility loader family, the narrow and wide track TX 427 models. Both TX 427 loaders feature a robust 27-hp Kohler  engine that delivers added torque for increased pulling and digging force. These models also come standard with a heavy-duty two-stage air cleaner that offers superior dust and dirt filtration.

The company says it has simplified its lineup by offering one model in either narrow or wide track design, beefed up with a more powerful engine, and increased the power-to-weight ratio for improved jobsite efficiency.

The TX 427 wide track model weighs 2,186 lbs. with a standard bucket, and it offers the same rated operating capacity as the narrow track model at 535 lbs. (35 percent of tip capacity). With an overall length of 92 inches including bucket, this model’s width is increased to 41 inches to accommodate the wide track set up but is still compact enough to fit through a 42 inch gate. With 3.5 psi ground pressure, this unit offers a light footprint and improved flotation for better traction in sandy or wet ground conditions. ■
