Equipment & supplies in North West: local notes
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.
Trees in North West
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 stump grinder hire requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: grinding stumps left from felled gums and old orchard trees
- Homeowners: grinding out an old stump so the lawn, paving or a new bed can go over it
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: clearing several stumps along roads and common areas in a day or two
