Toro Co. has more demand for biodiesel

December 28, 2008 at 10:52PM

Toro Co. has experienced an increase in demand for biodiesel products in the past five years and has responded by offering biodiesel options on more of its commercial equipment. The latest offerings for the 2009 model year are the Toro Dingo TX 525 wide track and TX 525 narrow track diesel compact-utility loaders. Toro's biodiesel engines are capable of running with blends of as much as 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel. Compared with petroleum-based diesel fuels, biodiesel releases less carbon dioxide and particulate matter and fewer unburned hydrocarbons.

The Toro Dingo TX 525 narrow track and TX 525 wide track compact utility loaders feature 25-horsepower Kubota diesel engines and deliver added torque and hydraulic flow for enhanced performance. Toro compact utility loaders can be outfitted with various attachments for constructing landscape features, demolishing interior structures, installing irrigation systems, preparing seedbeds, building decks and fences, tree planting and material hauling and handling.
