A Fresh Take on a Classic: The Toro Dingo TX 450 & TX 550

Toro has reintroduced its popular compact utility loaders, the Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550, now with a modern design. This fresh take maintains the trusted performance and easy-to-use walk-behind style that rental customers and contractors have relied on for more than 20 years.

The Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 equip operators to take on tough jobs, such as digging, hauling and grading, without the cost or complexity of larger equipment. Rugged, reliable, and straightforward, these machines maximize rental ROI while giving users the confidence to get more done.

Designed with operators in mind, these walk-behind CULs offer straightforward operation. 

“Engineered for ease, the Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 are intuitive to handle,” says Kaitlyn Ingli, product marketing manager at Toro. “These machines are powerful tools whether you're planting trees and shrubs, moving materials around or installing irrigation. The refreshed Dingos offer an uncomplicated solution for projects that might otherwise be too labor-intensive to tackle by hand.”

Popular features of the Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 include:
●    Compact & Lightweight – Among the smallest and lightest walk-behind units specifically designed to operate in narrow passages on the market. Intuitive to operate and designed to be easy to transport.
●    Minimal Turf Disturbance – A light footprint ensures you won’t tear up the yard while working.
●    Built to Last – Proven durability backed by Toro’s legacy as the pioneer of compact utility loaders in North America nearly three decades ago. 
●    Easy to Use – Designed to function as an extension of the operator, an intuitive joystick lets you raise, lower, curl and dump all with one hand. 
●    Versatile Attachments – One machine, multiple projects. Toro offers more than 35 attachments, turning one machine into dozens of different solutions that can assist in each step of a project, ideal for digging, hauling, grading and more.

The newly refreshed Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 are coming soon to rental stores nationwide and will be available at many Home Depot Rental locations. Get a sneak peek at the new machines by visiting Toro in booth 4626 at the ARA Show March 2-4, 2026, in Orlando, Fla.
