Default Replacing main ground rods

You don't need a driver...dig a small depression where you want to
place the rod.

Stick the rod in the soil, fill the depression with water. With-draw
the rod and the water will run into the the hole. As the water
provides lubrication, a gentle up and down motion will let you easily
slip the rod into the soil.

Depending on the moisture content of the soil, you may need to replace
the water in the depression. I always finish the last 2 feet or so
with a sledge hammer, many light strokes rather than a few large ones
will keep the end from mashing out of shape.

Good luck,
