Toro announced the winner of the Dingo TX 1000 Turbo Limited Edition giveaway. After months of anticipation and thousands of entries, Gregory P., a landscape professional in the greater Chicago area, was selected as the recipient of the grand prize.
The giveaway, which ran from Oct. 14 through Dec. 31, 2024, celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Toro Dingo TX 1000, a machine part of the compact utility loader category. Toro introduced the Dingo TX 1000 Turbo Limited Edition at Equip Expo 2024.
“This is the first Dingo giveaway in Toro history, and the response was incredible,” says Sam Dando, senior product marketing manager at Toro. “The Dingo TX 1000 Turbo Limited Edition represents the leading innovation and powerful performance that professionals expect from Toro, and we couldn’t be more excited to award one to Gregory. We know it’ll be put to great use by him and his landscape team who will experience firsthand the power, durability and versatility that define the Dingo lineup.”
The Toro Dingo TX 1000 Turbo features vertical lift, a turbocharged Yanmar diesel engine and patent-pending Smart Power technology to optimize engine, auxiliary and traction torque. It also incorporates the track system from the Toro Dingo TX 1300 for enhanced durability and performance.
Russo Power Equipment, an authorized Toro and Boss Plow dealer based in Chicago, delivered the Toro Dingo TX 1000 Turbo model to Gregory and his crew on Feb. 20. Since 1970, Russo has served the greater Chicago area with outdoor power equipment.
Gregory received another surprise that equipped his crew for winter conditions. Boss Snowplow, a division of The Toro Company, joined forces to elevate the prize package due to the high amount of snow this season. Through this partnership, Boss Snowplow contributed a selection of Snowrator accessory equipment, aiming to help this landscape and snow removal crew to streamline and enhance its sidewalk winter operations.
While only one lucky winner got to take home the Dingo TX 1000 Turbo Limited Edition for free, this exclusive model is still available for purchase at some local Toro Dingo dealers.
