Capay Hydraulics serves Davis from Woodland with the same published prices as everywhere else in the county.
Davis is ten minutes down Highway 113 from the shop, and most of what we fix there belongs to a university. UC Davis farms several thousand acres between the campus fields, the Russell Ranch research site west of town, the orchard and vineyard plots, and the dairy and animal science barns, and it runs a fleet of tractors, loaders, sprayers and specialty implements to do it. Research schedules do not move for a leaking loader cylinder, so we keep campus jobs on a short turnaround and quote them off the same published table as everyone else.
South and west of town the ground is private farms and orchards along County Road 32A and out toward Winters: almonds, walnuts, tomatoes and hay. The machines are the ones you would expect, Deere and Kubota tractors, orchard sprayers with hydraulic fan drives, nut harvesters and sweepers, and the loaders that feed the hay operations. The mobile truck handles hoses and quick reseals at the field; cylinders that need honing or a rod go to Woodland.
Davis also has a steady municipal and contractor base: the city public works yard, landscape contractors with compact loaders and mini excavators, and the ongoing construction along Mace Boulevard and the I-80 interchange. Those machines break the same way as farm iron and get the same rates.
Idle equipment and the first-day leak
Research and campus equipment often sits idle for months between trials, and idle is hard on hydraulics. Seals dry, rods pit where they sit exposed, and the first day back in the field is when the leaks show. If a campus or lab tractor is coming out of storage, a pressure check before it goes to the field costs $195 to $450 and saves the day the trial was supposed to start.
Davis fields, yards and roads on the route
Regular stops include the UC Davis campus farms, Russell Ranch, Highway 113, the Mace Boulevard and I-80 interchange, County Road 32A, Old Davis Road, covering ZIPs 95616, 95618. If your machines are near those, the truck has probably already worked your road.

Davis hydraulic repair questions
Do you work with UC Davis departments and their purchasing process?
Yes. We quote in writing off the published price table, which is what a purchase order needs, and we can hold a cylinder on the bench until the PO clears. Campus jobs are about ten minutes from the shop so pickup and return are quick.
How fast can you reach a field job near Davis?
Davis is our closest service town after Woodland. During work hours a mobile hose call is usually on site within an hour and a half, and the trip fee sits at the low end of the $150 to $235 range.
Can you repair an orchard sprayer fan drive or a nut sweeper head?
Both are hydraulic motors and small cylinders and both come through the shop regularly. Motor repair or replacement runs $800 to $4,000 depending on the type; the small cylinders on sweeper heads are usually a $350 to $900 reseal.
Is there a cheaper option than a full rebuild for an old loader cylinder?
Often. If the rod is straight and the bore is not scored, a reseal at $350 to $900 (small bore) is all it needs. We open it, look, and tell you which it is before doing anything else. You are never charged for a rebuild you did not need.
