Vehicles and driving in Tzaneen

Tzaneen lies in a lush subtropical valley below Magoebaskloof, surrounded by mango, avocado, citrus, banana and tomato farms as well as tea and timber plantations. Farm bakkies, tractors and produce trucks run long hours on the R71 and R36, and harvest season leaves little room for breakdowns. The humid, hot climate speeds up battery wear and corrosion on connectors, and heavy summer rain tests every light and wiring seal. Timber trucks climbing through Magoebaskloof need strong charging systems and reliable lighting. Tourists heading towards the Kruger and Letaba areas also bring 4x4s and caravans needing 12V system repairs.
