After months of excitement and thousands of entries, Gregory P., a landscape professional in the greater Chicago area, was selected as the lucky recipient of a new Dingo TX 1000 TURBO Limited Edition.

The giveaway, which ran from Oct. 14, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2024, celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Toro Dingo TX 1000, a machine that revolutionized the compact utility loader category, according to the company. Toro introduced the Dingo TX 1000 TURBO Limited Edition at Equip Expo 2024, in a striking textured matte black finish, a bold new take on the machine.

"This is the first Dingo giveaway in Toro history and the response was incredible," said Sam Dando, senior product marketing manager of 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 is built for productivity, featuring vertical lift, a turbocharged Yanmar diesel engine and patent-pending Smart Power technology to optimize engine, auxiliary and traction torque. It also incorporates the proven track system from the Toro Dingo TX 1300 for enhanced durability and performance, making it the ultimate machine for demanding job sites, according to Toro.

Russo Power Equipment, an authorized Toro and Boss Plow dealer based in Chicago, delivered the Toro Dingo TX 1000 TURBO Limited Edition model to Gregory and his crew on Feb. 20, 2025. Since 1970, Russo has served the greater Chicago area with outdoor power equipment. "Powering Nature's Professionals" is Russo's motto, and its customers include landscapers, municipalities, park districts, turf care specialists, arborists and snow removal deicing companies in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.

In addition to taking delivery of a Toro Dingo TX 1000 TURBO Limited Edition, the winner 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, empowering this landscape and snow removal crew to streamline and enhance its sidewalk winter operations with tools designed for efficiency and performance.
