Toro's Tracked Mud Buggy — the MB TX 2500 — is an innovative solution for the concrete placement, site preparation and material handling equipment categories. With the addition of this new product, Toro now offers both a wheeled version and a tracked version to meet the specific needs of a variety of segments including underground utility, earthmoving, general construction and landscaping segments.
The highly productive MB TX 2500 offers intuitive controls resulting in excellent maneuverability in confined areas, regardless of the operator's skill level. The unit can carry up to 2,500 lbs. of material, and the 25 hp KOHLER Confidant engine delivers the proper power to tackle even the toughest hauling jobs. Additionally, the MB TX 2500 can reach transport speeds of up to 6 mph in forward and 3 mph in reverse to efficiently transport material around the jobsite.
In terms of durability, the rugged Endless Kevlar reinforced tracks are built for high performance and offer outstanding traction for a wide range of terrain including hillsides, culverts and ditches. The unit also performs well in a variety of challenging conditions such as mud, gravel and even snow.
"Simply put, the features our engineers integrated into this new mud buggy model are focused on increasing jobsite productivity and ultimately, ROI," said Sean O'Halloran, marketing manager at Toro. "From the impressive engine power, to the easy-to-use controls, to the high-carrying capacity of the new machine, it's all centered around being extremely efficient."
The MB TX 2500 has a unique dump switch design that travels with the controls, ensuring that the dump switch is always at the operator's fingertips. The unit also features an auto-return dump feature that eliminates the need for the operator to wait for the tub to return to traveling position, increasing overall productivity. The model weighs approximately 1,575 lbs. and boasts an impressive 16 ft3 tub volume.
The MB TX 2500 also features convenient service points for routine maintenance. The belts, hydraulics, battery and engine compartment are all easily accessible and simple to maintain. Additionally, there are fewer hoses and fittings when compared to other material handlers in its class, effectively reducing service time and maintenance costs.
