Equipment & supplies in Free State: local notes
Tool hire shops in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Bethlehem rent chainsaws, towable chippers and stump grinders, and farm co-op stores often stock petrol saws and chain. Frost makes winter mornings slow to start a saw, so warm it up and check the chain brake. For bigger windbreak jobs along the N1 and N5 farms, ask about hiring a cherry picker with an operator.
What grows around Free State
Flat maize and wheat country covers most of the Free State, and the trees that matter are the ones farmers and town planners put in: bluegum windbreaks, pepper trees round the homestead, and avenues of exotic trees in Bloemfontein and Kroonstad. In the east, near Bethlehem, Clarens and Harrismith, willows and poplars line the streams and spread along wetlands. Winters bring hard frost and, in the east, the odd snowfall, while summer hail can strip a crown in minutes. Farmers ask most for windbreak felling and stream clearing, and town homeowners want gums and pines off roofs and walls. Willow, poplar and gum may all be listed invaders here, so check the listing for your tree and area.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: clearing fallen gums and wattle, cutting firewood and fixing fence lines on the farm
- Homeowners: cutting up fallen branches, pruning small trees and sawing braai wood in the garden
- Schools, churches and municipalities: park and school grounds staff cutting up storm damage and dead limbs
