Overview
The Dingo 950PR is a 2002 model, affordable mini-digger with a powerful Robin Petrol engine, gear-driven pump and impressive SAE dig depth of 1800mm. Loaded with features, the 950PR features a CenterMount/SideShift capable frame and can be loaded with a maximum width bucket of 1050mm and a maximum 0.11m3 bucket capacity. Boasting 16.4kw@3600rpm engine power and a 206bar relief valve pressure, the 950PR may seem ideal for a variety of digging tasks. However, with a lack of other specifications, such as bucket and dipper bucket breakout, slew system, travel length, weight and maximum speed, the 950PR must be carefully assessed before investing.
Advantages
Powerful Engine & Pump
The Robin Petrol engine with 16.4kw@3600rpm engine power and 0.653L engine displacement is an impressive addition to the 950PR. With two cylinders and gear-driven pump boasting 43L/min flow and a 206bar relief valve pressure, the 950PR is more than capable of completing even the toughest of digging endeavors. Busy construction sites and landscaping projects are no match for the powerful machinery of the 950PR.
Varied Digging Capacity & Bucket Sizes
The robust SAE dig depth of 1800mm makes the 950PR an ideal choice for various digging tasks, from large excavation projects to more detailed landscaping. Despite the varied depths of the digging, users are able to attach a bucket of varying widths, from 200-450mm and a maximum capacity of 0.11m3. An adjustable 1750mm high dump height allows the 950PR to unload at a reliable height while remaining safe against ground disturbances.
Disadvantages
Lack of Specifications
Unfortunately, the 950PR boasts only a few of what should be numerous specifications. With a lack of bucket and dipper bucket breakout, slew system, travel length, weight and maximum speed, users may be left wanting more from the 950PR. It’s unclear whether the 950PR would be able to handle heavier carrying tasks or if its weight would prevent it from being able to travel long distances.
Inability to Tackle Harder Soils
The lack of certain specifications such as slew system, a higher bucket break-out force and maximum speed could mean that the 950PR may not have the capacity to tackle heavier and more compact soils. Though the SAE dig depth of 1800mm means that it may perform well in looser soils, its lack of dedicated hardsoil attachment could hinder the 950PR’s usefulness in compacted earth tasks.
Overall Assessment
The Dingo 950PR is an impressive mini digger with powerful engine and pump capabilities and a varied digging range. Unfortunately, due to a lack of certain specifications, it may not be the best machine for more demanding tasks. Whilst it may be able to handle bigger excavation projects, users should be aware that it may not handle harder soils and more compacted clumps of earth. Those looking for the perfect machine for longer travels and challenging projects must take this into account before investing in the 950PR.
