North West notes on equipment & supplies
Tool hire shops in Rustenburg, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom rent chainsaws, chippers and walk-behind stump grinders, usually by the day. Farmers along the N4 and N14 often buy a larger petrol saw for windbreak and thorn work. Thorn and gum blunt chains fast, so carry a file or a spare chain, and wear cut-resistant trousers and gloves.
North West: trees, weather and gardens
Much of North West is open thorn bushveld and maize land, broken by the Magaliesberg and the river valleys around Hartbeespoort, Brits and the Vaal. Farms often have long bluegum windbreaks and pepper trees round the homestead, while towns such as Potchefstroom and Rustenburg have older streets with mature exotic trees that have outgrown their pavements. Dry winters and hot summers stress trees, and summer storms then bring down weakened limbs. Smallholders and farmers ask for bush thinning, windbreak felling and clearing of stands, while homeowners in the dam and mining towns want trees off roofs and walls. Thorn trees near the Pilanesberg and Madikwe may include protected species, so check whether a tree is protected before you clear.
Typical chainsaws requests in the area 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
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a maintenance team saw for storm clean-up and trimming along roads and common areas
