Overview

The Dingo is a stand-on compact utility loader. The operator rides a platform at the back rather than sitting in a cab, which keeps the machine short enough to go through a standard garden gate.

It is a carrier for attachments. We rent it with a trencher for irrigation, cable and drainage runs, a loader bucket for soil, mulch and gravel, and an auger for fence posts and planting holes.

The tracked version spreads its weight, so it keeps moving on soft, muddy or uneven ground where a wheeled machine digs itself in.

This is the machine for a job that needs a digger but has no way to get one in. Ask about the narrowest gap on the route — that is usually what decides it.
