Free State notes on equipment & supplies
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.
Trees in 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.
Typical cherry picker hire requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: trimming tall windbreaks and old gums next to sheds and houses
- Homeowners: taking a big tree over the roof down in sections from a platform
- Schools, churches and municipalities: municipal teams pruning street and park trees above roads and paths
