Capay Hydraulics serves Dunnigan from Woodland with the same published prices as everywhere else in the county.
Dunnigan is 20 minutes north of Woodland where I-505 meets I-5, and it serves two kinds of customer the rest of the county does not see as much of. The first is trucking: the truck stops and yards at the junction see hoist cylinders on dump and transfer trailers, liftgate cylinders, walking-floor trailer drives, and the hoses on all of them, and a driver with a weeping hoist at a Dunnigan fuel island has nowhere closer to go. The second is the Dunnigan Hills and the flat ground north toward Zamora and Arbuckle: wheat, grapes, olives, almonds and rice, farmed with big tractors and big implements over long distances.
The trucking work is mostly mobile. A hoist cylinder hose or a liftgate hose gets made at the truck from the mobile crimper; a hoist cylinder that will not hold gets pulled and rebuilt in Woodland, and for large bore that is $1,000 to $3,000 off the published table. We keep the common JIC and NPT fittings and the high-pressure hose that trailer hydraulics use on the truck.
The farm work is spread out, which is the reason to call a mobile shop rather than haul a cylinder 40 minutes. Ripper and chisel lift cylinders, grain cart augers, sprayer boom cylinders, and the loaders and forklifts at the almond hullers around Arbuckle are the regular jobs, and we batch Dunnigan and Arbuckle calls together to keep trip fees down.
Shock loads in the Dunnigan Hills
Dunnigan Hills dryland tractors pull big rippers and chisels through hard ground, and the implement lift cylinders take shock loads every time a shank hits a rock. Those cylinders fail at the rod eye and gland more than at the seals, and a cracked rod eye welded in the field usually comes back. A proper rod and gland rebuild is the repair that lasts.
The junction, the hills and the road north
Regular stops include the I-5 and I-505 junction, the Dunnigan Hills, Zamora, Arbuckle, County Road 6, the Dunnigan truck stops, covering ZIPs 95937, 95698, 95912. If your machines are near those, the truck has probably already worked your road.

Dunnigan trucker and grower questions
My dump trailer hoist is leaking at the Dunnigan truck stop. Can you come out?
Yes. Dunnigan is about 20 minutes from the shop, so a mobile hose call during work hours is usually on site inside two hours. If the cylinder itself is failing we can pull it there and rebuild it in Woodland; large-bore hoist rebuilds are $1,000 to $3,000.
Do you cover Arbuckle and Zamora too?
We do, at the top of the $150 to $235 trip range because of distance. We batch Dunnigan, Zamora and Arbuckle calls on the same run whenever we can, which usually brings the per-stop fee down.
Can you fix a walking-floor trailer drive?
The drive cylinders and the control valve are standard hydraulic work and come through the shop regularly. Valve rebuilds run $300 to $1,200 and the drive cylinders fall in the cylinder ranges on the cost page.
What is the turnaround on a ripper lift cylinder?
If the rod and bore are sound, a reseal is a day. If the rod eye or gland has cracked from shock loading it is a rebuild, $1,000 to $3,000 for large bore, and two to four days depending on whether the rod needs chrome.
