Equipment & supplies in Limpopo: local notes
Distances are long, so many farmers and lodge managers buy their own petrol chainsaw from a garden equipment dealer in Polokwane or Tzaneen rather than hire. Tool hire shops in Polokwane and Mokopane rent chippers and stump grinders, usually with towing needed out to the farm. Bring cut-resistant trousers and a helmet with a visor, since thorn and mopane are hard on gear.
Limpopo: trees, weather and gardens
Limpopo is hot, dry bushveld for most of the year, with green pockets in the mist belt above Tzaneen and around Thohoyandou. Marula, mopane, knob thorn and the occasional baobab grow on farms and plots, while mango, avocado, litchi and macadamia orchards line the valleys of the Letaba and the far north. Thunderstorms arrive in summer after long dry spells, and drought can leave big trees brittle. Work is often on game farms, lodges and fruit farms: clearing for roads and fences, thinning bush, and removing old orchard trees. Several indigenous trees here are protected, including marula, leadwood, shepherd's tree and baobab, so check whether a tree is protected and get a licence first.
Typical chainsaw hire requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: extra saws for a week of cutting fallen gums and winter firewood
- Homeowners: a day to cut up a fallen branch or tree after a storm in the garden
- Businesses and commercial property: a one-off day to clear storm damage from a parking lot or yard
